State Government Reporter

Gotham Gazette, an award-winning on-line publication about New York City issues, is seeking a reporter to help us expand our coverage of New York state government.

This reporter will be based in Albany and will report and write articles on state government and policies, particularly as they affect New York City. He or she will also help organize, expand and research Gotham Gazette's new state government section, contribute other articles to the Gotham Gazette site and be a key member of our staff.

Most of the articles will be issue-oriented news features, interesting and accessible to a wide range of readers. We hope to cover such topics as how the state budget affects New York City, the upcoming debate over whether the state should extend mayoral control of city schools and legislation of particular interest to New York City readers.

Two years professional reporting experience required. Accurate reporting, clear writing and ability to meet deadlines a must. This writer must be interested in policy issues and be able to explain their importance to our readers.

Gotham Gazette is a nonpartisan on-line publication published byCitizens Union Foundation, the prominent good government group.

How to Apply:
Applicants should send a cover letter, resume and one or two relevant writing samples to grobinson@gothamgazette.com. No calls please.

Topic Page Contributors

We have openings to be in charge of the following topic pages: Arts, Health, Community Development. The job mostly involves the writing of a monthly article (or an article every other month in some cases). For details, contact Gail Robinson at grobinson@gothamgazette.com

Internships

Gotham Gazette Internships

Gotham Gazette offers interns a practical work environment to learn about journalism, politics, and non-profit organizations on a nationally recognized Web site. A minimum of 5 hours per week is required. We can take full-time interns in the summer. We are willing to work with teachers, professors and interested students to provide a for-credit internship experience. Unfortunately, we are generally unable to pay our interns. However, small stipends are available under certain circumstances and for published work. Inquire for details.

Qualifications: Writing, editing, research, interviewing and phone skills relevant. Basic computer proficiency important. Advanced facility with computers noteworthy. Foreign language fluency desired. Interest in New York City politics, policy and civic life necessary.

We are looking for interns to work in the following areas:

City Government - attend hearings and meetings of the New York City Council, research issues and legislation, and help write articles.

The Citizen - select and translate articles from New York City's foreign-language newspapers, and write original articles about immigrants and immigrant communities. Complete fluency in both English and at least one other language needed.

Web Development - help build content-management tools. Candidates should have prior experience. This is not a data entry position: it provides the opportunity to develop serious, server-side applications for an award-winning website.

Photography - help us make the site more visually appealing. Illustrators are welcome as well.

How to Apply:

Send resume, cover letter and (for writing internships) two relevant writing samples to
