Join the future of news

We’re on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you’ll help reinvent news. Our work is driven by a deep investigative spirit and enhanced by innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most.

About Our Team

The Washington Post is powered by the passion and talent of our people. It takes all of us to reinvent news. Beyond our award-winning Newsroom and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand & Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering & Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing & Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales.

Why This Role Matters

The Washington Post is seeking a versatile, energetic and deeply curious reporter to cover local news across the Washington region, with a focus on education.

This is a dynamic role at the heart of our Local desk, combining breaking news, enterprise reporting and beat development. The reporter will cover stories about local students, educators and school trends across D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable writing about school policies and analyzing academic data as they are writing features and other stories that show how students are learning today.

We are looking for a journalist who can move seamlessly between fast-paced daily coverage and ambitious storytelling, with a sharp eye for how national issues play out locally — and how developments locally resonate beyond the region. The ideal candidate brings strong reporting instincts, a commitment to source-building and a passion for telling stories that reflect the complexity and diversity of the region.

This position is based in our Washington, D.C., newsroom.

What Motivates You:

You are driven to capture the stories that define K-12 education in the Washington region.
You thrive on the urgency of breaking news and the opportunity to pursue meaningful enterprise.
You enjoy building relationships with communities and developing trusted sources.
You are collaborative, adaptable and eager to work across a fast-moving newsroom.

How You’ll Support the Mission:

Cover students, teachers and learning in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, delivering timely, accurate and engaging reporting.
Write incisive enterprise about trends in education in the local schools that drive the conversation and illustrate trends happening elsewhere in the region and country.
Develop and maintain sources among students, parents, educators, policy makers and community leaders

Collaborate with colleagues across the local department and newsroom, including photographers, video journalists, data reporters and editors to produce impactful, multi-format storytelling.
Spot emerging issues and help shape coverage priorities for the Local desk.
Produce work that resonates locally while contributing to national conversations about criminal justice.
Serve as a key reporter on major breaking news stories, helping coordinate coverage and synthesize reporting.

The Skills and Experiences You Bring:

A track record of producing strong reporting on a beat or general assignment, ideally in a local news environment.
Demonstrated ability to move quickly on breaking news while also developing original enterprise.
Strong source-building skills and a commitment to community-focused reporting.
Clear, engaging writing style and the ability to explain complex topics.
Ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced newsroom.
A commitment to accuracy, fairness and the highest standards of journalism.

Interested candidates should upload a résumé, cover letter and three examples of their work (as PDFs) to our jobs portal. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, but those received by May 15 will be prioritized. The cover letter should be addressed to Local Editor Theresa Vargas, Deputy Local Editor April Bethea and Managing Editor Kimi Yoshino.

The salary range for this position is $97,400 - $162,300. The actual starting salary within this range will depend on individual skills, experience and qualifications as they relate to specific job requirements.

Collaboration makes us stronger. That’s why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.

Compensation and Benefits

Wherever you are in your life or career, The Washington Post offers comprehensive and inclusive benefits for every step of your journey:

Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage
Company-paid pension and 401(k) match
Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave
Nine paid holidays and two personal days
20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent
Robust mental health resources
Backup care and caregiver concierge services
Gender affirming services
Pet insurance
Free Post digital subscription
Leadership and career development programs

Benefits may vary based on the job, full-time or part-time schedule, location, and collectively bargained status.
