Job description

The Los Angeles Times has an opening for a night reporter on its breaking news team. The successful candidate will have a strong interest in real-time news and connecting with our readers. Fast Break reporters must combine meticulous accuracy and news judgment with the ability to get stories published quickly.

This essential role requires an experienced journalist with deep versatility who is comfortable juggling multiple stories and collaborating with colleagues. This reporter must be a self-starter who takes the initiative to move on news without it being assigned and is tirelessly resourceful at gathering information to both tell and advance a story.

The night reporter also should be prepared to anchor big stories and take handoffs on running posts that were begun earlier in the day. Frequent collaboration across the Fast Break department and the broader newsroom is required. While a large part of this job will necessitate desk work, occasional field reporting and travel could be involved. The shift typically runs from 2:30 to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday, but occasionally, earlier start times are needed.

Responsibilities:

  • Report and write breaking and trending news stories across a variety of subject areas, including crime, weather and other news-of-the-day topics
  • Demonstrate an ability and willingness to cover subject matter outside one’s knowledge or comfort zone
  • Identify unique angles that will advance a news story beyond what other outlets have already reported
  • Write engaging headlines and SEO components with a digital, diverse audience in mind
  • Respect and meet tight deadlines that will include brisk turnarounds on edits for what could be multiple news posts each day

Requirements:

  • Two to six years of journalism experience
  • Ability to foster excellent communication with peers, supervisors and the broader newsroom
  • Ability to navigate digital platforms and stay on top of current events
  • Versatility and adaptability, working not just across production platforms but also subject areas
  • Ability to juggle multiple tasks in a deadline-driven environment
  • Excellent skills in news writing and reporting, combining strong news judgment, fluency in style and deep knowledge of taste and legal considerations
  • Understanding of the importance of accuracy and precision
  • An ethical and inclusive approach in the workplace that promotes collaboration
  • Comfortable appearing on TV, radio, podcasts and social video on behalf of the L.A. Times 

This position is listed as Reporter in the Los Angeles Times Guild and will be based in El Segundo, Calif. Reporters must have a valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle in good working condition, with suitable auto insurance coverage.

Qualified applicants should upload a resume, cover letter and clips to Deputy Managing Editor Monte Morin at the apply link.
