Tallahassee Correspondent
Posted 8/20/2010
The Sun Sentinel and the Orlando Sentinel are looking for an aggressive and enterprising reporter to work in our Tallahassee Bureau.
The successful applicant will be able to sift through a range of issues and target topics that are of high relevance to the South Florida community. He or she will be expected to approach the job with a strong watchdog and consumer focus. This job is not about chronicling the machinations of state government and politics -- it is about finding and delivering Florida stories that have impact and resonate with readers beyond the capitol.
This is a high-profile job for a reporter who can consistently break news online, deliver engaging blog posts, build audience through social media, and shoot pictures and video as needed to support that coverage. He or she should be equally comfortable turning front page narratives and should be open to delivering those stories in alternative formats. Database experience is preferred.
Strong teamwork and initiative are critical. This reporter will work closely with another reporter in our Tallahassee bureau. That reporter focuses on Central Florida issues, but together this team will collaborate to deliver engaging coverage on the biggest issues facing Florida. That coverage is supervised by our state editor, based in Orlando.
To apply, please submit a resume, letter of interest, five clips and examples of your online experience and aptitude to Kathy Pellegrino, Sun Sentinel, Recruitment Editor, .
