We offer industry-leading benefits in a positive and flexible work culture. These include 5+ weeks of paid time off, plus holidays, parental leave, generous employer contribution to medical insurance, available group vision and dental insurance, and employer-provided EAP, life and disability insurance.

New Job at NABJcareers.org Cultural Economy Reporter: New Orleans, Louisiana Verite News Cultural economy reporter  Verite News is a Black-led nonprofit news organization with a twofold mission to produce in-depth journalism that serves communities across New Orleans while training, developing and mentoring a new generation of journalists from underrepresented backgrounds. Verite is seeking a Cultural Economy Reporter to join a staff aimed at bolstering independent, nonpartisan journalism in the Deep South.  The ideal journalist for this role will be someone with at least two years of reporting or related experience who can thoughtfully develop daily/breaking news stories, deeper-dive and investigative features and well-researched packages and projects.  Tourism and hospitality form the backbone of New Orleans’ economy, and the industry shapes the city’s national and global image. The city’s cultural economy draws from its rich and complicated histories and cultures, compiled over centuries. But how much of the city’s tourism money flows into the pockets and promotes the wellbeing of the workers and residents who keep hotels, restaurants and jazz clubs running? The cultural economy reporter at Verite News would cover the relationships that sustain the city’s tourism economy, exploring and explaining how the industry does or does not serve the people of New Orleans. In addition to reporting on the business of tourism, this reporter will incorporate public accountability into the beat, given the amount of public subsidies and local government boosterism dedicated to tourism and hospitality in New Orleans. Everyday New Orleanians have built this economy over time, and the cultural economy beat seeks to document the relationship between the industry and the people who work in it. The work of the cultural economy reporter aims to celebrate New Orleans and its people, documenting the unique practices and cultural traditions of the city through people-focused features and narratives. The cultural economy reporter will report to an assistant managing editor. Expectations: * Lead coverage of tourism and hospitality policy in New Orleans, with an eye toward the intersections of culture and tourism with politics, economy, labor, race and class, gender and more.  * Collaborate with a team of journalists who are focused on social inequities and racial equality in our area. * Build trust with sources and readers.  * Work with our audience team and data and visual journalists to create compelling story presentations. Qualified candidates should have: * A bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications or related field, or equivalent experience.  * The ability to work quickly, with accuracy and good news judgment. * Proficiency with AP style guidelines.  * At least two years of… See more jobs on the NABJ Career Center at NABJCareers.org #NABJJobAlerts
