    The McClatchy Company 4.1company rating

    Reporter Job 38 miles from Lawrence

    The Kansas City Star is looking for a high-energy, self-starting and community-minded reporter to cover eastern and southern Jackson County, with a particular emphasis on Independence, Lee's Summit and Grandview. This reporter will be tasked with covering news, local governments, school districts and other influential institutions with a strong focus on accountability, in a way that reflects and reaches residents across the more suburban and rural parts of the county. They will find the topics that our Jackson County readers care about and will dig in, turning both quick stories each week and pursuing more enterprising angles. Story ideas will come from residents and neighborhoods, not just meeting agendas. The reporter will be open to using callouts and other engagement tools to hear from residents about what they'd like to see covered, and will utilize multiple story formats including service journalism-style explainers and fact checks. This reporter will also work closely with our other politics and government reporters to keep an eye on how what's happening in Jackson County affects the rest of the metro, and how those in Jefferson City and Washington are delivering to residents. Eastern and southern Jackson County has no shortage of reasons to warrant a watchful eye. In the past year alone, Independence police led the metro in dangerous car chases, and the city has failed to hold a notorious landlord accountable for inhumane living conditions, leading to a rent strike among tenants. Multiple children have died conspicuous deaths with sparse information from officials. Lee's Summit is consolidating elementary schools because of declining enrollment, Independence is experimenting with a four-day school week and Hickman Mills continues to fight for full accreditation. Meanwhile, eastern Jackson County residents are leading a grassroots effort to oust the county executive over property tax concerns, and a controversial pastor accused of preaching conspiracy theories was elected to the Missouri Senate. The ideal candidate will have an understanding of how local governments and institutions work. They will know how to develop a network of trusted sources and will be confident in their ability to pitch ideas to drive the beat.
