ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

The New Bedford Light is a free and independent digital news outlet. Our mission is to inform and nourish the civic culture of New Bedford and surrounding towns by providing in-depth, fact-based journalism and a broad platform for diverse community voices. We also promote media literacy and educate the public about the vital role of a free press in bolstering our democracy.

THE POSITION: City Hall/Municipal Reporter

The reporter is responsible for both researching and reporting issues of relevance to our community and identifying stories to amplify, or concerns to examine. The reporter is responsible for establishing The Light as a trustworthy, authoritative, and valued source of local news by reporting through a fair and unbiased perspective. The Light produces high-quality news that is regularly re-published by other media outlets and informs professionals and policymakers across the country.

The reporter is self-directed and maintains the ability to develop sources and contacts from diverse groups of people, acquire public records from local, state and federal governments, and juggle explanatory, enterprise and long-range projects.

The reporter will thrive on reporting and telling stories with data, documents and photos in a hybrid newsroom of experienced and dedicated journalists. The reporter will find, explore, clean and analyze datasets, file documents requests (e.g., FOIA), and write articles for publication online that align with The Lights audience. We value team players with a willingness to learn, teach and experiment.

The reporter will report to the Executive Editor and will interact daily with the editorial team in a highly collaborative newsroom.

The ideal candidate will be able to report and complete complex stories and visualize related multimedia elements while meeting deadlines. The candidate will be comfortable working with experienced as well as early-career journalists.
