About The Position
KERA, the public media company of North Texas, is seeking an enterprising and ambitious health reporter to join the KERA News team. North Texas is a health care hub serving a booming population. Based at KERA in Dallas, the full-time Health Reporter will cover health care trends, disparities and outcomes across the region and the state. While a knowledge of health policies will be vital, coverage will focus on the people impacted by these policies. This reporter will write and produce everything from daily news spots to in-depth features on all of KERA's platforms: radio, video, social media and keranews.org. This is a great opportunity for a thoughtful, detail-oriented reporter with stellar ideas and strong journalistic experience. We're looking for someone with a passion for exploring health care disparities in underserved communities, and who's determined to connect with and elevate the diverse voices of those communities. There will be a focus on solutions journalism and accountability. KERA leads The Texas Newsroom -- a regional news hub of public radio stations across the state and NPR -- so the Health Reporter's stories will air locally, statewide and often nationally. The ideal candidate is someone who can put local stories into broader context.
