Border Reporter

The San Diego Union-Tribune is looking for a reporter to cover Tijuana and greater Baja California, as well as issues relating to the California-Mexico border region. We are looking for a versatile journalist who can take an enterprise approach to the beat, focusing on deeply reported, high-impact journalism. At the same time, the successful candidate must be able to juggle aggressive beat work and breaking news. This is an incredibly dynamic region to cover, and this reporter must be able to identify stories that resonate with a cross-border/U.S. readership. Coverage topics can include everything from security, human rights and politics to business, tourism and culture. This reporter should be able to tackle stories that make a difference and hold accountable institutions and people in power, while carefully navigating a complex reporting environment.
