JOB TITLE:
Journalist, Producer

JOB PURPOSE:
The multimedia journalist/digital content producer captures the stories of the changing environment and communities in the American West for multi-platform distribution. This position combines the resources of Wyoming Public Media and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

ABOUT THIS POSITION:
This position is a unique hybrid of Wyoming Public Media journalist and Buffalo Bill Center of the West multi-platform content producer. Both organizations share a common interest in Wyoming/Western content. The selected candidate will cover Wyoming and regional west topics, and also produce innovative digital media content focusing on the museum’s informational and educational goals. The selected candidate will work with professionals at both WPM and the Center of the West. The position reports to and is administered by WPM.

This position will be based in a digital production facility at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming; the person holding the position will have a strong on-site presence. It is part of WPM’s partnership with the Museum to 1) establish a Northwest Wyoming presence for WPM at the museum, and 2) create and disseminate compelling Wyoming-centric and Rocky Mountain West content that will be used by both organizations.

Wyoming Public Media Journalist:  Though this position handles general assignment reporting for Cody and Northwest Wyoming, it has a strong concentration in areas of the American West, nature and wildlife in the region, particularly Yellowstone National Park, and cultural/historic content.

He or she will advise museum administration on opportunities and challenges related to media technologies, visitor impact, public outreach, and media awareness.

In light of the partnership and shared values of WPM and the Center, work requirements of the two institutions will not compete or conflict; rather, they will be complementary. The majority of content produced for the Center will be posted on WPM’s websites and disseminated regionally and nationally. Importantly, the Center will support the journalistic process determined and managed by WPM and the employee, i.e. the Center will not dictate journalistic priorities. The position’s administrative reporting structure is managed by WPM.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Incorporate photo essays and video. Utilize a broad array of distribution systems including Twitter, Facebook, and other emerging information sharing systems.
• Produce and/or assist in producing content for the WPM’s and Center’s websites, podcasts, and other products and for Center’s exhibit enhancements, oral histories, audio tours, podcasts, and other products.

As a Ferris Professor in Residence, the Director also teaches one course each semester in journalism or creative nonfiction.

Princeton's program in Journalism (journalism.princeton.edu) was established in 1957 and comprises the Ferris Seminars in Journalism and the McGraw Seminars in Writing. A key feature of the humanities landscape at Princeton, our journalism program is grounded in humanistic inquiry and narrative storytelling, and is committed to journalism as a public service.

Their tone should be stridently sensible. 

Key responsibilities: 

• Write 3-5 short posts (200-250 words) per day for assigned division, focusing on highlighting fascinating stories that shape readers' opinions or perspectives
• Generate post ideas quickly and independently
• Collaborate with desk editors and reporters to identify key themes for the day

• Salary in USD: $125,000 - $200,000 (dependent on skills, experience, and competencies)

This reporter must know what motivates business interests and can help  people understand how economic trends shape public policy and vice  versa. California, the fifth largest economy in the world, is also a high-cost,  high wage state and one of its central debates is about maintaining those  high wages and lowering those high costs.

• Report and write longform and short stories and multimedia  presentations about California economic issues with close attention  to state policies and legislation, the lobby community and  advocates.
• Appeal to a broad audience in a big diverse state with keen  awareness about social and cultural distinctions and story sources  that reflect our population. 
• Participate in radio shows, public events and live video.
• Regularly contribute to CalMatters’ daily newsletter. 
• Work with our data, visual and social media journalists to create the  best presentations of economy stories. 

These are requirements: 

• At least three years of professional journalism experience, preferably  including coverage of the economy. 
• Sharp writing skills, with work samples that showcase the ability to  engage readers and translate complex education issues into  relatable, human stories. 
• Based in California 

These would be a plus: 

• There is a preference this reporter will be based in Sacramento
• Several years experience covering economic or business regulatory  issues 
• An understanding of economic policy 

Compensation and Benefits: 
The salary range for this position is $70,000 to $90,000 per year; higher  compensation may be available for someone with advanced skills and/or  experience.

We’ll match  contributions of up to 4% of your salary to our 401(k) program, provide life  insurance at no cost, and give you an allowance for personal use of your  cell phone and a budget for professional development opportunities like  classes and conferences. 

We are an expanding and collaborative newsroom, successfully forging a  new model for sustainable, intelligent, nonprofit journalism. We’re  committed to diversity and especially encourage members of  underrepresented communities to apply. If you’re interested, please  provide a resume, a cover letter that outlines how you would approach the  job and links to at least six online samples of your work — solo bylines only,  please.

If you’re a journalist who thrives on reporting about complex policy issues in ways that make them accessible to the people they affect most, you might be the next state policy and politics reporter for CalMatters and Voice of San Diego. 

Newsrooms all over California once covered statewide policy issues through a local lens. They interviewed and followed legislators from their regions. They reported about how policies created in the state Capitol affected their readers back home. It was local journalism at a statewide level. 

And now we’re bringing it back. 

In this new role, you’ll cover state policy and politics on behalf of people in San Diego, Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. You don’t have to live in Sacramento, as long as you can travel to the state Capitol at key times. You’ll create two weekly newsletters – one for San Diego and Imperial counties and one for the Inland Empire of San Bernardino and Riverside counties – and write occasional stand-alone stories for each region. You’ll work with editors at media organizations in those regions, starting with the Voice of San Diego, the nonprofit news organization that first brought us this idea and is helping to make it possible. 

This position is for an experienced reporter with excellent writing skills who can navigate state politics and its connections and negotiations with local governments. You’ll collaborate with other CalMatters reporters on enterprise stories and our partner newsrooms in each region. 

Responsibilities include:

• Report and write newsletters, short timely stories and in-depth enterprise pieces.
• Follow state and local policy discussions, related bills in the Legislature and advocacy group agendas.
• Follow research from universities, think tanks and advocacy organizations about the issues you’re covering and identify appropriate sources and useful datasets. 
• Participate in public events and appearances on radio, television and social media.
• Contribute to the story production process including working with partner newsrooms,  creating data graphics and using SEO best practices.

Required:

• At least three years of professional journalism experience
• Experience covering, or significant familiarity with, the ways state government works
• Based in San Diego, Inland Empire or Sacramento

These would be a plus:

• Knowledge of key issues in San Diego County, Imperial County and/or the Inland Empire
• The ability to report and write in both Spanish and English
• Experience with data analysis and data journalism
• Familiarity with California policy and politics
  

Compensation and Benefits

The salary range for this position is $70,000 to $90,000 per year; higher compensation may be available for someone with advanced skills and/or experience. 

You will be a member of the CalMatters staff for HR purposes and a team member of both CalMatters and Voice of San Diego for reporting purposes. CalMatters and Voice of San Diego are jointly funding and managing this position.

CalMatters offers a complete benefits package with medical, dental and vision insurance – we cover 90% of the cost for employees and 70% for dependents – from a range of HMO and PPO providers. We’ll match contributions of up to 4% of your salary to our 401(k) program, provide life insurance at no cost, and give you an allowance for personal use of your cell phone and a budget for professional development opportunities like classes and conferences.

CalMatters and Voice of San Diego share a commitment to a new model for sustainable, intelligent, nonprofit journalism. We’re committed to reflecting the people of the state we serve and especially encourage members of underrepresented communities to apply.
