Job Description
The Boston Globe is hiring a transportation reporter to cover our public transit system, Boston’s infamous traffic, our aging infrastructure, and our robust pedestrian and bike culture. The beat centers accountability reporting on state agencies and public officials, with plenty of breaking news and scoops to be had. But it also includes enterprising stories about how we live, as how we get around consumes much of our day-to-day life here. We want someone who is comfortable with public records requests and who can elevate an item from a dry hearing into a lively, thoroughly reported story that resonates with our readers. We are looking for a relentless and curious reporter with wide-ranging interests who thrives on holding public officials accountable.
