ICT, formerly Indian Country Today, and Underscore News seek a Bureau Chief to oversee ICT’s Northwest coverage and contribute reporting and editing to both ICT and Underscore.

We expect the reporter to be a self-starter for pitching and reporting on stories, and will assign and edit stories when needed. For Underscore, the Bureau Chief will write enterprise and feature stories, collaborate with the managing editor in editorial strategizing, assist with selecting publishing partner stories and loading them on the website and edit stories as needed.

The Bureau Chief reports directly to the Managing Editors of ICT and Underscore.

The bureau chief position at the Oregon-based bureau with IndiJ Public Media will contribute to the digital news and broadcast platform. The following duties and responsibilities include those for both ICT and Underscore. Further details will be discussed during the interview process.

• Use journalistic and ethical judgment.
• Pay attention to detail and care for factual accuracy.
• Use background in American Indian and Alaska Native issues, history, policy and culture to provide context in news stories.
• Capture photos and video for the digital and broadcast platform, and social media platforms.
