TPM Media is Hiring
(Last Updated: Nov. 19th, 2005)
TPM Media LLC, publisher of Talkingpointsmemo.com and TPMCafe.com) is looking for two enterprising and energetic journalists to staff a new blog focused on wall-to-wall coverage of corruption, self-dealing and betrayals of the public trust in today’s Washington.With a format and style similar to Talkingpointsmemo.com, the two reporter-bloggers will break stories with original reporting, in addition to digging into public records and published reports to bring together the context, impact and significance of evolving stories covered only episodically in the daily press.
Both jobs offer the opportunity to be involved at the forefront of a new kind of journalism, combining original reporting with the free-wheeling tone, style and accessibility of blogs.
Applicants must be able to write well and write fast, as well as have a knack for distilling complex stories into clear and meticulously factual prose. Journalism experience is a big plus. A deep familiarity with the world of blogging and national politics are both a necessity.
The more senior of the two positions will be based in Washington and have a greater emphasis on reporting from Capitol Hill and around Washington; the second position will be based in New York and, in addition to reporting and writing for the new TPM muckraking site, will also work on other TPM Media research projects.
Interested applicants should send a resume and cover letter to talk@talkingpointsmemo.com and include the subject line 'TPM Media Job'.
