 The Fort Worth Report is seeking an editor to cover nonprofits, a sector increasingly filled with uncertainty amid a shifting financial landscape. Our rapidly growing news team seeks a journalist adept at juggling quick turns and in-depth enterprise coverage of nonprofits, philanthropies and the social safety nets across Fort Worth and Tarrant County. In addition to reporting, this position will also mentor and sometimes direct reporters on other beats, including faith, arts and health, when nonprofit coverage intersects those areas of coverage.
 
 
 
 
 
 The nonprofit beat is squarely focused on the issues that affect the everyday lives of Tarrant County residents, exploring how changes inside nonprofits have ripple effects in the community. In all of our reporting, we seek to amplify the voices of Fort Worth and Tarrant County residents &mdash; especially those most affected when systems falter.

 The nonprofit editor is a problem solver with the ability to work quickly and thoughtfully, adjusting according to the needs of the story. The person loves the mission of hyperlocal reporting that is the signature of the Fort Worth Report.

 At the Fort Worth Report, we live at the intersection of people and public policy. Our nonpartisan reporting centers on civic life, including local government accountability, health, business, arts and culture, the environment and religion.

 ● Use clear, concise authoritative writing in three stories each week that make complicated issues accessible and shows our audience why a story is important to them. Must be comfortable with photography, videography, data visualization and related tools. We&rsquo;re an all-digital platform, so our focus is on making content shine online.
 
 
 ● As required, work with our team of reporters across beats, developing and discussing stories for you to pursue as well as stories best covered by the faith, arts and health reporters.
 
 
 ● Work closely with, direct and mentor reporting staff as assigned.

 ● Be a positive force for our mission, our staff and, most of all, our community. We&rsquo;re a community-owned and -operated nonprofit and nonpartisan local news organization.
 
 
 ● Must be able to work with some schedule flexibility given occasions requiring evening, weekend and holiday work. We promote a life-work balance for our team.
 
 
 
 
 
 QUALIFICATIONS:
 
 
 ● Good-natured, ambitious and ready to help build a long-term sustainable local news initiative.
 
 
 ● At least five years of reporting experience.
 
 
 ● Management experience is desirable but not required.

 OTHER REQUIREMENTS:
 
 
 ● Driver&rsquo;s license, reliable transportation and current automobile insurance.
 
 
 ● Willing to relocate and live in Tarrant County.
 
 
 
 
 
 This is a full-time, exempt position. Travel and some nights/weekends will be required on an occasional basis. At the same time, we highly value our employees and do our level best to create a healthy work-life balance.
 
 
 
 
 
 We offer a competitive salary, plus health insurance (medical, dental, vision), a generous paid-time-off policy, a matching 401(k) plan, and flexible work hours.
 
 
 
 
 
 There are great candidates who might not check all these boxes or who hold important skills we haven&rsquo;t listed. Don&rsquo;t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself. FWR is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to hiring employees from diverse backgrounds. People of color, women, LGBTQ+ and differently-abled people are strongly encouraged to apply.
 
 
 
 
 
 As a small nonprofit, we&rsquo;re often called to wear many hats and jump in to help each other when the situation calls for it. We can&rsquo;t say it too often: We&rsquo;re committed to maintaining a healthy work-life balance and providing a place for staff to feel supported in their professional growth and achieve ambitious goals.
