Reporter, Cybersecurity

Job Description

The Hill, a division of Nexstar Media Group, is looking for a reporter to cover cybersecurity.

It's a beat that will touch on the White House, Congress and K Street, and requires a self-starter who understands politics at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

The ideal candidate will show an ability to translate what can be arcane material into stories that pack a punch, breaking down complex subjects into scannable stories that are easily read by busy people on the go.

At the same time, the winning reporter will need to be ready to dive deep with longer-form content as warranted on a beat that dovetails with national security and foreign policy.

Please upload your materials combined into one single document with as much of the following as possible: your updated resume, a brief cover letter explaining your interest and fit for the position, and your portfolio/clips or links to a few samples of your work. Completing these steps will ensure that you receive the highest consideration.

Ideal candidates will have these skills and qualifications:
• At least two years of experience in journalism
• Demonstrated strong writing and reporting skills
• Audience-first mindset, including familiarity with digital and social media
• Appetite to tell stories in novel ways to attract new and larger audiences
• Drive to get stories online in a timely fashion, without sacrificing quality
• Excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills and able to build relationships
• Highly resourceful team player, also able to be extremely effective independently

Established in 1994, The Hill is the country's definitive digital source for non-partisan political news and information. Inside the Beltway, it's known as an essential, agenda-setting read for lawmakers and influencers. Beyond the Capitol, The Hill's trusted content is shared more often on social media than any other major broadcast or political news brand in America.
Our properties include TheHill.com, reaching a monthly audience of 41M; Hill.TV, the largest independent video platform within the Beltway with 2.4B annual views; The Hill's print edition, one of the most influential sources for law and policy makers; Elevate Studios, creating breakthrough branded content offerings for leading marketers; and The Hill Events, which hosted 70 virtual events last year, featuring 92 Members of Congress and 88 industry leaders in meaningful policy discussions.
