We’re looking for an ambitious reporter to take on compelling stories grounded in Florida but with national resonance, designed to surprise, reveal, inform and bring about change.
You’ll join our team covering the South, and the addition of the Florida reporter to that unit comes at a key time. The state is one of the nation’s focal points for climate change and severe weather, labor shortages and workforce needs, divisive politics and culture wars. We want to build on some of our past work there, which includes examinations of shifting attitudes toward immigration, crackdowns on college curricula, hazardous pollution by the sugar industry (a Local Reporting Network partnership with The Palm Beach Post) and failures to help families of infants with devastating brain damage (an LRN partnership with the Miami Herald).
The South unit has produced some of ProPublica’s most enterprising investigations, drawing attention to environmental injustice in Alabama, voter registration challenges in Georgia, a crackdown on student threats in Tennessee and the persistence of segregation academies across the Southeast.
We’re looking for a reporter who:
This job is full time and includes benefits. This position is based in Florida. Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.

This is our best estimate of what we expect to pay for this position. The final salary figure will take into account a person’s experience, accomplishment and location. ProPublica is committed to paying its staff equitably, and these ranges should not be considered career salary limits or caps.
If all of this sounds exciting to you, you can apply using this form.
