Equal Opportunity Employment/Diversity 

We are an organization committed to making the world a better place for all people. Diversity is a source of our strength and allows us to make better decisions, be more impactful, and be better at our jobs day to day. We see our internal commitment to diversity to be reflective of how we view the world and the changes we want to see become reality. 

This organization is an equal opportunity employer and does not unlawfully discriminate against employees or applicants for employment on the basis of an individual’s race, race (inclusive of traits historically associated with race, including, but not limited to, hair texture and protective hairstyles, such as braids, locks and twists), color, religion, creed, citizenship, sex or gender (which includes discrimination and harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), reproductive decision-making, political affiliation, medical condition, genetic information, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, military or veteran status, taking or requesting statutorily protected leave, or any other status protected by under federal or applicable state or local laws, or any other status protected by applicable law. This policy applies to all terms, conditions and privileges of employment, including recruitment and hiring.

The organization understands that too often what are viewed as the traditional credentials are subjective criteria that exclude historically marginalized communities and act as barriers to hiring and recruiting the best candidates. As part of FWD’s best hiring practices, we do not have educational requirements for any of our jobs. Many of our jobs do require specific interpersonal, skill-based, technical, policy or other requirements and applicants for those jobs will be evaluated based on their level of expertise, to include lived experience and work experience - which could have taken place at an educational institution or elsewhere. 

FWD.us believes in fair chances and employment opportunities that benefit everyone. Ensuring that people who have had contact with the criminal justice system--including incarceration for serious offenses and substantial periods of time--have the opportunities upon their release to fully succeed and contribute to this country is central to our work and is a value to which we are absolutely committed to uphold in how we operate and who we hire. We do not conduct criminal background checks on applicants, unless required by state or federal law for specific roles.

The company makes reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities to allow such persons to perform the essential functions of their jobs, to the extent required by law. Employees or applicants who would like to request a reasonable accommodation should contact Management. The company will also, where appropriate, provide reasonable accommodations for an employee’s sincerely-held religious beliefs or practices.

Applicants directly impacted by the criminal justice or immigration systems, including formerly incarcerated individuals, are strongly encouraged to apply.

We are seeking to hire experienced investigative reporters to cover national security issues in Washington. ProPublica’s D.C. bureau will tackle the most urgent investigative targets, and reporters will have the time and resources to pursue stories with creativity and ambition. We’re looking for reporters who are invigorated by the challenges of working in a dizzying news environment and skilled at identifying important investigative angles for stories that others have missed. We want reporters who have a record of producing stories that combine the kind of rigor that is a hallmark of the best accountability journalism with the narrative style of the best magazines. And we’re looking for reporters who have done stories that surprise, expose harm, deliver life-altering revelations, uncover the secret workings of the national security apparatus and bring about change.

We’re looking for reporters with:

• At least five years of experience producing original accountability journalism and a talent for, and dedication to, digging for the truth.
• Experience covering national security issues; you should be sourced and able to hit the ground running on impactful stories. Previous investigative work in Washington is a plus, though not required. 
• Storytelling chops and the ability to deliver findings in ways that connect with readers, as either riveting narratives or muscular, vivid investigative reports.
• A vision for what you’d like to cover at ProPublica.
• Experience with a wide range of reporting techniques, from underpinning stories with exclusive data analysis to using creative strategies to engage with readers and sources. 
• An ability to bring an accountability lens to the issues of the day through quick investigations reported over a couple of weeks and longer projects that may require months (or more) of digging.
• The instincts to pursue urgent, high-stakes stories that are central to the national conversation or crisis of a given moment, which can require carving out a lane amid competition.
• A knack for working with others. We are a highly collaborative newsroom, both across our teams and with other news organizations regionally and nationally. We believe we do our best work together.
• An ability to travel as required.

This job is full time and includes benefits. This role will be based in ProPublica’s Washington, D.C., office, so candidates should live within the D.C. metropolitan area or be willing to relocate. Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.

The expected salary range for this position is $140,000 to $180,000.

This is a good-faith 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.

We will begin reviewing applications as we receive them, but we will continue to consider candidates as long as the posting remains live on our site.

No phone calls, please.

We are seeking an experienced investigative journalist to help expand our coverage of the Pentagon and the U.S. armed forces. The Department of Defense is the government’s largest agency, with a budget of nearly $1 trillion. Its operations at home and abroad are testing long-standing alliances and rules of engagement, just as policy changes have made its activities, and its leaders, harder to scrutinize. We’re looking for someone to add to ProPublica’s long history of holding this branch of government to account through deep reporting that has an impact.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of breaking through the wall of secrecy surrounding so much of what the U.S. military does; an insider’s understanding of its hierarchy, codes and traditions; and an outsider’s healthy curiosity and skepticism. They will be knowledgeable about the connections between the various agencies and the companies that influence or benefit from national security policies. They will have the kinds of sources who help them to both get behind the scenes of how decisions and policies are made and document their impact. And they will have demonstrated an ability to responsibly handle sensitive information. 

This reporter will be based in ProPublica’s Washington, D.C., office and will be part of a team assigned to nail big scoops and land agenda-setting investigations. Candidates must be willing to collaborate not only with their colleagues on the military beat but also with those working in other coverage areas.

We're Looking for Someone With:

• At least five years of experience producing original accountability journalism and a talent for, and dedication to, digging for the truth. Your portfolio should show that you are already doing this work.
• A vision for how they’d approach military investigations for ProPublica. You should strive to report and write stories that are both important and powerfully told.
• Expertise covering defense and national security; you should be sourced and able to hit the ground running on impactful stories.
• Experience with a wide range of reporting techniques, from underpinning stories with exclusive data analysis to using creative strategies to engage with readers and sources.
• Demonstrated storytelling skills. You should be a skilled investigative storyteller, capable of delivering findings in ways that connect with readers, either as riveting narratives or muscular, vivid investigative reports.
• An ability to bring an accountability lens to the issues of the day through quick investigations reported over a couple of weeks as well as longer projects that may require months (or more) of digging.
• The instincts to pursue urgent, high-stakes stories that are central to the national conversation or crisis of a given moment, which can require carving out a lane amid competition.
• Prior experience and an affinity for working with others. We are a highly collaborative newsroom, both across our teams and with other news organizations regionally and nationally. We believe we do our best work together.
• The ability to travel, as needed, for assignments, training and staff meetings.

This job is full time and includes benefits. This role will be based in ProPublica’s Washington, D.C., office, so candidates should live within the metropolitan area or be willing to relocate. Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.

The expected salary range for this position is $135,000 to $165,000.

This is a good-faith 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.

We will begin reviewing applications as we receive them, but we will continue to consider candidates as long as the posting remains live on our site.
