The Albuquerque Journal is looking for an energetic, experienced reporter to cover public education. This is a high-profile, news-packed beat that gets a lot of attention. The paper is looking for someone unflappable who can handle the politics and policy issues, watchdog one of the country’s largest school districts and let readers know what is going on inside their city’s schools. The reporter who takes on this beat should have solid data-mining skills, be adept in the digital world, know how to build an effective source network and think creatively about how to present complex information.
If interested, please send a cover letter, resume and about a half-dozen published work samples to Metro Editor Charlie Moore (cmoore@abqjournal.com). Deadline is Dec. 5. More information here.
