About The Position
The Fresno Bee is seeking an ambitious bilingual reporter to cover the Latino communities in California's Central Valley. Fresno County, located in the heart of California's diverse San Joaquin Valley, is a community in transition. Latinos are the largest ethnic community in the county, playing a significant role in shaping the community's culture, economy and education needs. We are looking for a reporter who can capture the growing political power and cultural influence of the Valley's Latino community, as well as the challenges they confront. This reporter will contribute to coverage, report and write articles, and develop trust with residents in Fresno's urban core and its rural communities, including those from disadvantaged communities. The ideal candidate will be compassionate, collaborative and creative about how to craft stories that serve the community's needs and resonate with readers. These stories will be published in the bilingual Vida en el Valle, as well as The Fresno Bee and other McClatchy publications. This reporter also will be part of La Abeja, a weekly newsletter focusing on Latino communities in the Central Valley - a collaborative product among The Fresno Bee, The Modesto Bee and The Sacramento Bee. Journalism is a team sport in our newsroom. The ability to collaborate and communicate well with colleagues on a daily basis is essential. Fresno County, our core coverage area, is a great place to live and work. You get the benefits of small-town living in California's fifth-largest city with easy access to Yosemite and the ability to get to the San Francisco Bay Area as well as Los Angeles.
