Montana Free Press, Montana’s premier statewide nonprofit news organization, has an immediate opening for a dogged government and politics investigative reporter to join our newsroom in Helena.

Who you are:

A curious, resourceful and competitive journalist who understands politics and policy, embraces documents and data, and is equally comfortable cultivating the state’s most influential and informed sources and filing FOIA and open records requests. You should be driven to break deeply reported and compellingly written stories that untangle complicated topics for the state’s most engaged audience.

The ideal candidate will primarily report and write daily and enterprise stories with a core beat focused on politics, partisanship and power.
