Mississippi Delta Reporter




Mississippi Free Press




This reporter will be based in the Mississippi Delta and contribute a mix of breaking news and longer-form, in-depth coverage of an often-misunderstood and disparaged region. This new beat will focus on the systemic causes and outcomes to the region's challenges as well as show the joy, the tenacity and the genius of Delta people in a mixture of multi-media, photograph and video, and narrative non-fiction pieces. The reporter will be involved in community connection through solutions circles and other on-the-ground events.

Salary and Benefits:
Starting at $46,000

Full health, dental and vision insurance paid by company; 24 paid time-off days per year for first three years, nine paid holiday days and two paid “floater” holiday days a year for the first three years.

This position will be:
Work-from-home (based in the coverage area)

Moving Stipend:
We can negotiate one if needed, but we anticipate hiring someone already living in the Mississippi Delta.





This position is sponsored in part by Report for America, a national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities. Report for America is an initiative of The GroundTruth Project. All Report for America Newsroom Partners are Equal Opportunity Employers.




The mission of the Mississippi Free Press, a nonprofit statewide newsroom, is to publish deep public-interest reporting into causes of and solutions to the social, political, and systemic challenges facing all Mississippians and their communities. We interrogate and report the systems that cause inequities on the road to lasting solutions through a mixture of narrative storytelling, data reporting, historic context and community dialogue through solution circles in under-reported communities to discover report causes and roots of inequities, followed by solutions journalism.
