The Oklahoman, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is looking for an experienced journalist to bolster our coverage of Oklahoma politics and watchdog and accountability reporting. This reporter will offer readers a lens into the inner-workings of Oklahoma’s government and help lead our campaign coverage ahead of the 2026 elections, with a focus on key statewide races. The reporter will also contribute to our legislative coverage by explaining who stands to benefit from — or be harmed by — legislation making its way through the Capitol. The reporter's watchdog duties, however, will not be limited to only politics but to any accountability stories we deem worthy of pursuing. We are looking for a reporter who can break news, build sources, obtain and analyze public records and bring to light the stories Oklahomans need to know. The reporter will file a mix of daily and enterprise stories and experiment with alternative storytelling formats, such as short-form videos. The reporter will contribute to the supportive, team-centric environment that defines The Oklahoman newsroom.
