Virginian Pilot seeking a staff writer

Find a story. Tell a secret. That's the game plan for The Virginian-Pilot's general assignment reporter in Virginia Beach. Investigative journalism is a huge part of the job, as much as discovering a good political scandal. Most enterprise reporting, however, is rarely that glamorous.

But this reporter carries a big stick and shouldn't be afraid to swing it. Great stories are all around, and this reporter should always be on the lookout, writing and using creative approaches on a variety of issues: public safety, preserving historic buildings, absentee owners, and disputes among differing groups about urban planning and city priorities.

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE:
· Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.

· Three (3) years of reporting experience at a daily newspaper, including one year experience in public safety and public affairs reporting.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
· Five (5) years of reporting experience at a daily newspaper, including two years experience in public affairs reporting.
