The South Bend Tribune, part of the USA TODAY Network, is recruiting for a city hall, government accountability and service journalism reporter in South Bend, Indiana. The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating the workings of city government but will be much more interested in telling the stories of the people affected by government decisions. You should be able to work with official sources to gather information without accepting everything they say as gospel. We work with the powerful on behalf of the powerless. We need a great storyteller who will tell several stories a week, collaborating to incorporate video and other visual ideas as well as words. You should be interested in both personal stories and overarching trends. Be ready to quickly turn breaking stories while developing enterprise stories in the background. You should be adept at source development, digital tools and using public records. It is an exciting time to cover the South Bend region, one that has seen consistent population growth for several years, with tens of billions of dollars in development recently completed, underway or in the works.
