JOB OPENINGS

Breaking News Reporter (Full-Time)

The Center for Investigative Reporting

Date Posted: 12/12/2025

Last Day To Apply: 1/15/2026

Salary: $65,000- $75,000 per year

The Center for Investigative Reporting—home to Mother Jones and Reveal—is looking for a ferociously hungry blogger to join our fast-moving Mother Jones news desk—someone who wakes up checking headlines, instinctively pounces on breaking stories, and can turn around multiple clean, sharp posts every day without breaking a sweat. While there may be the occasional opportunity to report longer-form stories, this role is built for someone who loves the rhythm, pace, and adrenaline of daily news and the challenge of beating competitors by minutes—not hours. As a core part of our news operation, you’ll help set daily priorities with editors and confidently identify what deserves coverage on your own. You should be comfortable writing two to three pieces a day, ranging from tight breaking-news hits to punchy analysis blogs with personality. The ideal candidate knows exactly what a sharp headline looks like: clever without being cutesy, clear without being dull, urgent without being overwrought. You’ll also collaborate with a senior editor to co-host our flagship daily newsletter, the Mother Jones Daily, contributing incisive takes on top national headlines and helping highlight our features and investigations.
