Application Deadline: Friday, Jun 01, 2018
Description
KCUR’s Kansas News Service is looking for an ambitious multimedia reporter who will thrive exploring the dynamics of rural communities across the state. This reporter, through a one-year fellowship, will focus on health issues and the 2018 elections but also have the opportunity to take on in-depth projects. The job is based in Topeka and involves occasional travel around Kansas.
Kansas News Service is a regional journalism collaborative that focuses on education, health and politics. The work of its reporters appears on public radio stations across the state (and sometimes beyond), online and in newspapers in Kansas.
News in Kansas can run the gamut. There’s conflict between rural and urban interests, over abortion, on issues of guns, voting rights, and the role of government health programs. Kansas is often a testing ground on national issues of tax policy and regulation. Reporters have no trouble finding hot-button issues to cover.
Kansas News Service works under the direction of KCUR 89.3, the NPR affiliate in Kansas City. KCUR is an editorially independent community service of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. See www.kcur.org/jobs for the complete job description and information about KCUR and Kansas City.
Review of applications will began on May 1, 2018. This position will remain open until filled.
