The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the largest newspaper serving western Pennsylvania, is seeking an ambitious and smart Data Reporter who will help lead stories for the PG's investigations team, overseeing the collection and analysis of data for some of the newspaper's most important work. A key player in the newsroom, this Reporter will help plan strategy for the use of data and will work closely with the PG's data visualization team to create powerful and original web and social media presentations.
The Data Reporter should have a knack for wrangling data sets from government agencies and for finding the trends and patterns that can elevate investigations and lead to high-impact stories. Expectations include the mining of data, pitching story ideas, and ultimately creating journalism that our readers can't get anywhere else.
