DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

We cover the immediate news of the day as well issues and developments that shape our community and culture. GBH News broadcasts and streams local, national, and international news produces local talk shows and publishes a wide variety of locally sourced news online. We aim to reflect the diverse communities we serve in our journalism and our newsroom culture.

JOB OVERVIEW

GBH News is looking for an intrepid reporter to cover Massachusetts politics and policy. The reporter should be able to tap into Massachusetts' Congressional delegation as the news demands. They should be immersed in politics, and able to make connections between and among developments in the local, state, and national arenas while simultaneously being alert to cultural developments that shape the context of official action.

The ideal candidate should be able to translate the latest news out of the legislature, examine, and explain how policy changes impact the daily lives of our audiences, and infuse their reports with insights and experiences from the constituents we serve.

The reporter will focus on breaking daily news for online, radio, and social media. In addition, they, together with other members of the politics team, will contribute to our newsletter and will appear (as needed) on radio, television, and video productions.

What you get to do:

  • Working with the Senior Editor of Politics and other editors, develop daily and weekly state politics and policy coverage.
  • File regularly and with great fluency across multiple platforms – radio, web, social, and occasionally television.
  • To put it in informal, colloquial terms: "If it happens on Beacon Hill, or influences the State House, know about it."
  • Cover general assignment reporting for the newsroom, as needed.

What skills you need:

  • Solid news judgment and the ability to prioritize competing developments.
  • Strong sense of journalistic ethics.

​

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
