 We&rsquo;re on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you&rsquo;ll help reinvent news. Our work is driven by a deep investigative spirit and enhanced by innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most.
 
 
 
 About Our Team
 
 
 
 The Washington Post is powered by the passion and talent of our people. It takes all of us to reinvent news. Beyond our award-winning Newsroom and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand &amp; Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering &amp; Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing &amp; Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales.
 
 
 
 Why This Role Matters
 
 
 
 The Washington Post is seeking an enterprising, deeply curious reporter to cover the intersection of arts and government at a pivotal moment for the nation&rsquo;s cultural institutions.
 
 
 This is a distinctive and high-impact beat focused on the country&rsquo;s most prominent arts organizations &mdash; including the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian museums, the Library of Congress and the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities &mdash; and how they are being shaped by policy decisions and political forces. The reporter will chronicle how the Trump administration is influencing cultural institutions, and how those shifts reverberate through the arts, public life and national identity.
 
 
 We are looking for a journalist who thrives on breaking news and driving original reporting, while also producing ambitious enterprise and narrative work. The ideal candidate will bring a passion for the arts, a strong instinct for accountability reporting and a keen eye for the personalities, conflicts and cultural currents shaping this moment. This is a busy and complex beat that requires both speed and depth &mdash; a reporter who can move quickly on developments while also stepping back to explain their broader significance.
