Arlington, United States
Staff Reporter, Marine Corps Times
Marine Corps Times, a Sightline Media Group brand, covers how operational, personnel and readiness decisions are made and what it means to Marines across the globe. Our readers are active-duty Marines, veterans and their families, as well as decision-makers at the Pentagon and Capitol Hill.
At Sightline, beat reporters are the pulse of the organization. They break stories, find indispensable scoops, write best-of-class enterprise stories and develop plugged-in sources who help readers understand what's happening in the Marine Corps.
We have an immediate opening for a full-time journalist to cover the Marine Corps.
This job requires:
Our ideal candidate has at least three years of relevant journalism experience and:
We don’t want a stenographer or a reactive reporter. We want someone who is thinking about what’s next, looks past buzzwords, won’t easily be led and thinks hard about the consequences of every word. The story of the day might not be a good fit for our readers, while an overlooked story might be very consequential.
Sometimes the job requires parsing the nitty-gritty of defense legislation or combing through budget books. We sweat details. Our editors value accuracy, clarity and a good story.
