With an unmatched reach at the national and local level, Gannett touches the lives of millions with our Pulitzer Prize-winning content, consumer experiences and benefits, and advertiser products and services.The Visalia Times-Delta/VisaliaTimesDelta.com, part of theUSA TODAY NETWORK, is looking for a thoughtful and community-minded reporter who wants to help reimagine the public safety beat in a digital-first environment. Breaking news, crime and courts will be part of the mix, sure. But the way we cover policing, criminal justice and our community must change, to hold law enforcement and other government agencies accountable, seek a more nuanced representation of the challenges the Valley faces and rebuild trust within communities. You'll need to dig deeper and seek a wider perspective, cultivate diverse sources and devote resources to debunking myths and stereotypes. You'll write about serious crime, breaking news, trends and spotlight social issues, while being sensitive to how our stories affect the various people and neighborhoods we cover.
An ideal candidate will be conscientious and collaborative, skeptical and comfortable with conflicting views. Flexibility is key, as are compassion and creativity: You'll cover a protest one day, interview a victim's family the next, and end the week crunching crime statistics and exploring other criminal justice trends. You're comfortable breaking a story online, adding additional nuance and facts in real time to lead the conversations in our communities.
Metrics and audience research will help guide decisions about how to cover topics and issues as you engage with readers on a variety of platforms to drive audience and subscriber growth. And the beat will evolve as you share best practices with network colleagues around the country. This reporter is also expected to have the range to handle breaking news, as well as general assignment and in-depth, data-driven reporting. Ability to produce content that is clean, accurate and publication ready.
