The Supreme Court’s decision on abortion rights is one of the most highly anticipated rulings in decades. Hanging in the balance is not only Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy but the future of access to reproductive rights nationwide. The Gulf States Newsroom recognizes the importance of covering this story and the unique opportunity we have as a team based in the region. We’re hiring a reporter position, based in Jackson, Mississippi, to cover the abortion case and its ripple effects from the state at the heart of this monumental case.

This reporter will be based in Jackson, Mississippi, employed by MPB and will report to the managing editor of the Gulf States Newsroom. This reporter will join a team of award-winning regional reporters and editors who cover health care, wealth and poverty and race and equity. They will pitch in on local coverage of their beat for MPB and will have the opportunity to file for NPR often. A spirit of collaboration is key! This is year-long contract position. A longer term may be possible if funding is available.

In addition to the case and the broad national debate over abortion rights, this reporter will have the opportunity to cover many other stories about reproductive, maternal and infant health in the South. This position will also have a focus on community engagement. We hope to experiment with ways to do outreach and distribute stories to those most affected.

The Gulf States Newsroom is dedicated to training and strengthening reporting power, so if you are passionate about telling these stories, but don’t check all of the boxes we’ve outlined here – please apply! Tell us about the skills that make you uniquely qualified for this position.
