    At Reveal, investigative reporters partner across our newsroom to lead major investigations with digital, audio and video storytelling potential, combing through documents and cultivating human sources to tell intriguing, high-impact investigative stories. We are especially interested in reporters who have experience in or a passion for reporting on: threats to democracy in the U.S., climate change, gender and the rights of women, and policing.

    • Contribute to a creative, welcoming workplace.
    • Support and mentor reporting efforts across the newsroom.
