WBUR is looking for a new reporter with a passion for covering the news and uncovering interesting stories. We hold our reporting to high standards, we love great storytelling, and we like to have fun too. Right now, we need a reporter who thrives on covering breaking news, general assignment and enterprise stories, both for broadcast and the web. Past general assignment reporters have developed special expertise on beats that were under-covered, and we strongly encourage that. Broadcast reporting experience is a plus. If you're ready to meet tight deadlines, file for newscast and digital, and take some deeper dives too, this is the opportunity for you. One last thing to know before you apply. This reporter will work a Tuesday-Saturday schedule.
