Reporter - Statehouse News

The Santa Fe New Mexican, a locally owned and independent newspaper in one of the nation’s most interesting capital cities, is looking for a talented, seasoned and ambitious statehouse reporter who can spot an intriguing enterprise piece, respond quickly to breaking news in state government and politics, and write with style and expertise that will appeal to a smart, demanding and engaged readership. You’ll work in a diverse, culturally rich and always-sunny arts and food town surrounded by mountain ranges offering opportunities for stellar year-round outdoor recreation. We’re looking for an insightful self-starter who always has a sharp idea, with an eye on deadlines and a willingness to tell stories in nontraditional ways. The successful candidate will have clips that demonstrate a deep understanding of state government operations, legislation and its effects on real lives, and the people and personalities who shape policy. You’ll be surrounded by busy, productive colleagues who care about good journalism.
