WASHINGTON POST, NEW BEAT


We are creating a new beat that will blend the reporting of politics, campaign finance and lobbying to examine how powerful forces are exerting their influence on the levers of government. This is, in many respects, the biggest industry in this town. Public and private entities spend billions of dollars protecting and advancing their interests in Washington, and the relationships that intersect that world provide opportunities for provocative, creative journalism.

Who are the new power players in the capital, what do they want, and how are they trying to get it? Will President Obama be able to make good on his pledge to change the lobbying culture in Washington and enforce new ethical standards? From the crafting of legislative earmarks to the selling of corporate access by political organizations, this is broad territory ripe for an intrepid reporter.

This reporter should have investigative instincts and an ability to develop sources in a highly competitive environment. Experience with public records—such as lobbying disclosure and campaign finance reports—is desirable. Storytelling skill is essential. The work of this reporter will range from hard news to computer-assisted reporting projects, from profiles to analyses.

Candidates should contact Kevin Merida (4-7213), Marilyn Thompson (4-7496) or Peter Perl (4-6188) by February 3.

BUSINESS REPORTER SOUGHT

Friends and colleagues:

It's getting hard for me to keep track of the carnage in the newspaper industry lately, so I'm blasting this to everyone I know who (a) might be facing a layoff or (b) know of someone recently laid off.

The Enquirer just laid off 10 percent of its newsroom as of noon today. But at the same time, we have a business reporter leaving for another opportunity. And because the editor's strategy is to protect reporting positions at all costs, we're actually replacing the position.

The opening is for an experienced business reporter. Exact beat to be determined.

If interested, let me know and I can fill you in on more details and put you in touch with the appropriate editor. We will probably move quickly, and this job may not be advertised.
