Strong investigative instincts and the ability to follow a trail until it leads somewhere

Experience working with newsroom systems and media production tools

Excellent writing, research, and storytelling skills

5 years of experience in reporting (consumer or investigative experience a plus)

The ability to stay organized, calm, and focused when deadlines are tight

A commitment to accuracy, fairness, and ethical journalism
