Lee Enterprises and ICT, formerly Indian Country Today, are partnering to produce enterprising coverage of Indigenous peoples and issues in two key locations – Tulsa and Rapid City – and if you’re an experienced reporter who would like to be a key part of that effort, read on.

Both of these outstanding reporting opportunities offer excellent salary and benefits. The reporters will join the staffs of the Tulsa World and Rapid City Journal, respectively, and will work in tandem with editors from both ICT and the respective news organizations. Both ICT and Lee recognize the need for deep, comprehensive coverage, and the reporters will have a voice in story selection and planning. Indeed, self-starters who regularly pitch ideas and will brainstorm new ways to cover Indigenous communities are desired.

Successful applicants will have demonstrated writing and reporting ability at the professional level; at least three to five years’ daily experience or the equivalent is preferred. The reporters will handle a mix of daily stories, weekend features and longer-term projects. The ability to photograph and to produce video, both to accompany stories and to produce occasional broadcast packages for ICT’s daily newscast, is essential. Experience with podcasting and other platforms is a plus. We will expect these reporters to have a strong professional presence on social media.

Key skills include:

• Interviewing and source development
• Advanced research skills including FOIA aptitude and document analysis
• Ability to write crisply and compellingly
• Experience in video production and video editing
• Using background in American Indian and Alaska Native issues, histories, and cultures, and federal Indian policy, to provide context in news stories

Both the World and the Journal are outstanding workplaces with editors who greatly value storytelling, as do the editors at ICT. Both cities and surrounding regions have significant Indigenous communities that merit great coverage and need to see themselves portrayed thoughtfully and thoroughly. We expect these reporters to be immersed in those communities, and therefore one reporter will need to be located in Tulsa, and the other in Rapid City. The jobs offered by this partnership will provide important, high-visibility opportunities to produce memorable journalism. While local news is paramount, these reporters’ work will be seen nationwide with the digital presence and reach of Lee Enterprises’ 77 news organizations and Indiancountrytoday.com. Hiring will be done collaboratively with the two organizations.

You'll help plan, lead and execute multiplatform, digital projects, keep the trains running on time and help develop the audience with the help of a talented crew.

Members of the Digital Enterprise Team are expected to produce content through a variety of media, including text, social-media, photography and video. This is the kind of role for someone who knows how to think big and get results in a team environment — not lone wolves. 

While you'll be called on to head out to the field to produce stories, video, and photography for the website and newspaper, you'll be the primary in-office producer supporting the team. That might mean performing data-analysis and visualizing that data for use online and print, cutting together a video feature shot by a photographer or designing a compelling homepage to highlight The New Mexican's watchdog and feature journalism. 

Your best asset is you. While there are plenty of technical skills you'll bring, we expect you to be a quick learner and rise to the challenges that pop up in the ever-changing digital-publishing world. The ideal candidate thrives on keeping up to date on emerging trends and techniques while learning how to filter out the signal of innovation from the noise of fads. An ideal candidate should bring a community-center mindset that can be channeled into social-media initiatives.

How to Apply
If this sounds like you, reach out with a résumé, work samples and multimedia links. Including a cover letter. Ditch the clichés and spend your time talking about your vision for local digital news and your role in that vision. If you want to reach out directly, write Digital Enterprise Editor Henry M. Lopez at hlopez@sfnewmexican.com, @henrymlopez or 505-986-3054.
