Reporter Fellow, Local Investigations

3 to 5 years of of professional experience as a reporter covering a beat

You are an independent journalist

Nice to have:

Experience covering a beat and an idea for an investigative story that you have not had the time, resources or editing support to pursue

A deep understanding of the issues facing the region, from experience living or working in the Deep South

The Times is looking for reporters with a local story idea who want to investigate it under the editing guidance of Dean Baquet, The Times’s former executive editor, and a group of veteran investigative editors.

The goal of the Local Investigative Fellowship is to provide fellows the opportunity to learn the ways and means of investigative reporting from some of the best in the business. Our fellows will be based in the communities where they are reporting and make periodic trips to The Times’s offices for training and support.

This one year program is for reporters who have a local investigative story idea rooted in Louisiana or Mississippi.

This is a NY Guild role based in Louisiana or Mississippi.

Spend a year producing signature investigative work focused on your state or region that will be published by The Times.
