JUSTICE REPORTER
Are you able to discern broader trends amid the swirl of developing law-and-order stories? Do you feel comfortable covering crime in an urban context? Are you adept at gathering what’s needed to weave compelling digital and print narratives? Can you clearly translate complex facts and stifling bureaucratese? If your answers to these questions are a resounding ‘yes’ then you may find a justice reporting opening at the Daily Press to be the challenge you need to advance your career. The Daily Press is Tribune Co.’s news outlet in Hampton Roads, Va. Our diverse market offers coverage challenges ranging from Queen Elizabeth II’s visit for America’s 400th anniversary to the Michael Vick dogfighting cases and the persistence of violence in some of our communities. Reporting versatility and flexibility are essential. The ability to show you can think visually will be a big plus. Diversity is something we take seriously.

We’ve sent staffers to the Chicago Tribune, RedEye, the Houston Chronicle, Investor’s Business Daily, Orlando Sentinel and Baltimore Sun.
