Who Should Apply
This role fits reporters and correspondents with at least four years at a recognized outlet, especially those who have covered investigative, business, or science beats where documents drive the story. You should be comfortable working with public records, verifying sources, and writing non-opinion articles in formats like the lead and inverted pyramid. Candidates who rely on commentary or opinion writing will find this role less suitable. A common reason applicants get rejected is not showing enough document-based research or fact-checking examples in their materials. Another is lacking clear evidence of synthesizing long documents into structured narratives.
