Journalism Job

Media Organization: Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting

Company Description

The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting is a nonprofit news service that specializes in investigative reporting about state and local government. It was established in 2009 by two veteran journalists to fill the gap created by the decline of in-depth journalism in Maine. Our stories have exposed fiscal waste, patronage, favoritism, slack public safety, poor ethics and judicial lapses and prompted numerous changes in state laws and regulations.
The Center’s stories are widely distributed, appearing in most of the state’s newspapers and their web sites and on the center’s own site, pinetreewatchdog.org.

Job Description

The Center is seeking applications for its 2014 Reporting Fellowship. The Fellow will work with the Center’s staff to produce investigative and enterprise stories about Maine government and elections. One of the Center’s missions is to train beginning journalists in the methods and disciplines of evidence-based, independent investigative reporting.
