San Francisco, CA
The San Francisco Chronicle is looking for an aggressive, enterprising reporter to cover City Hall with a focus on homelessness, affordable and supportive housing, and the drug epidemic, writing about San Francisco's and California's struggles to confront these crises and whether funds are being appropriately used.
Homelessness and open-air drug use in San Francisco and California have become national stories. The reporter on these beats will be tasked with explaining why one of the richest regions and states has failed to make significant progress on such visible and intractable problems while also looking at innovative solutions.
This is an opportunity to break news on the people and policies shaping the story, hold the powerful to account, amplify new and important voices, and explain these issues to readers here and around the world. The reporter will be part of the San Francisco City Hall team and will focus on how city departments and elected officials respond to the crisis.
The reporter will be expected to build sources in the homeless community and spend time on the streets. They will be asked to tell the stories of unhoused residents and share the perspectives of housed residents and business owners.
Reporters at the Chronicle seek to provide must-read, best-in-class coverage through scoops, investigative stories, narrative journalism and utility pieces that demystify politics and government systems. We're seeking a self-starter who has strong writing skills, is comfortable providing and taking feedback, thrives on collaboration, is committed to inclusive journalism and wants to own the stories that matter most.
