Reporter, Equity and Justice - Boston, United States - Capital Public Radio
Description
DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
GBH News is transforming into one cohesive, audience-focused, multiplatform news organization that tells the most interesting and distinctive local stories of the day. Our journalism is infusedand informed by the diverse communities we serve. We are among the fastest-growing local news providers in Greater Boston and draw on the talent of a multiplatform newsroom that includes radio ( FM); television (Ch. 2); and digital reporting. Our goal -- through in-depth, high-quality journalism -- is to inform, educate, and enlighten our audience and build a collaborative newsroom culture.
JOB OVERVIEW
The American Dream is unreachable and far out of focus for too many in one of the wealthiest nations in the world and in one of this country's wealthiest states. As its population diversifies, equity gaps in Massachusetts are also growing, especially along fault lines of race and class.
GBH News is deepening its capacity to report on systemic barriers disproportionately blocking marginalized communities from thriving in the Commonwealth with the creation of a new Equity & Justice reporting unit that is steeped in community engagement, data, and a focus on both problems and solutions. This unit will operate alongside and in collaboration with other tentpole areas of focus in our newsroom -- politics and civic engagement, education, investigations and impact, and long-form feature storytelling.
RESPONSIBILITIES
In this role, you will be a key member of our cross-platform team, bringing your journalistic expertise to deliver impactful stories, engage with diverse communities, and champion issues of equity and justice in Massachusetts. Your ability to balance immediate news needs with long-term assignments and projects will be essential to our mission.
