Asian American And Pacific Islander Reporter

Asian American and Pacific Islander Reporter

Are you a passionate journalist interested in the Bay Area’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and committed to owning the stories that matter most? The San Francisco Chronicle is looking for a bilingual reporter who can beat the competition with fast reporting, crisp writing, scoops and stories that illuminate the lives, challenges and priorities of the growing and diverse AAPI communities.

This is an opportunity to shape an essential beat in one of the West Coast's largest and most ambitious newsrooms, where accountability journalism is a priority and inclusive journalism is non-negotiable.

This position will require both cultural and linguistic fluency, with a strong preference for Cantonese, the dominant language among San Francisco’s Chinese-American community.

The Right Candidate Will:

• Be able to cover complicated, sensitive topics with nuance, care, clarity and urgency.
• Be a critical newsroom voice who both leads our coverage of AAPI communities and constantly looks to improve access to that coverage through innovative partnerships, story seeding and community engagement.

What you will do:

• Pitch, report and write a mix of daily, enterprise, investigative and feature news stories for SFChronicle.com and The Chronicle's print edition.

• Work closely with photographers, graphic artists, audio journalists and other colleagues.

• Prioritize digital publishing, employing a mix of storytelling forms, from narratives and explainers to Q&As and multimedia presentations.

• Travel to field assignments in the Bay Area and Northern California.
