This is a note for the many journalists who I know read this site. I want one of you to come work for us. We have two positions open. And I think we may be near to filling one. But we’ve got at least one more waiting to be filled. The job is in DC. You’d be part of our small team of reporter-bloggers who write for TPMmuckraker and you’ll be part of our expanded news coverage, which we’ll be rolling out over the next month.
There’s a formal job announcement here. But let me make a personal pitch.
If you’re a regular reader you know the kind of muckraking reporting we do on stories like the Abramoff scandal, the always-expanding Cunningham scandal, the US Attorney Purge and a lot else. We dig deep into stories we think matter; we stick with them; we have fun with them — and all following standards of journalism I’d be happy to stack against those of any other outfit in the profession.
And we’re not only about scandal. We want to dig into what’s happening in Congress today. Find more stories that deserve more attention but aren’t getting it.
We work really hard and have a lot of fun doing it. And our relationship with our readers, who do a great deal of the frontline research which feeds into our more traditional reporting, plays a critical role in allowing us to get a jump, frequently, on bigger news organizations. And there’s a lot of challenge and fun and satisfaction just operating in a new medium and playing some small role in creating it.
