Do you have a passion for holding the powerful accountable? Are you the kind of reporter who can take a complex legislative bill and turn it into a story that actually matters to a family in Duluth, Mankato, or Rochester? We’re looking for a high-energy, autonomous State Capitol Reporter to be the face of Minnesota politics for our stations across the state.

Based in the heart of the Twin Cities, you’ll be the bridge between the halls of power and the communities we serve—delivering news that lives on every screen, from the 6 PM broadcast to a viral social thread.

Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Own the Capitol:
  Be the first to know—and the first to report—on the legislative sessions, policy shifts, and political maneuvers that shape Minnesota.
• Tell stories that travel:
  Craft compelling content for four major Gray stations (KBJR, KEYC, KTTC, KVLY) and occasionally represent Minnesota on a national stage.
• Master the multi-platform pivot:
  Shoot, write, and edit your own content, ensuring it’s optimized for a digital-first audience before it even hits the airwaves.
• Lead the election charge:
  Take a featured role during election cycles, breaking down races and results with urgency and authority.
• Connect the dots:
  Coordinate with newsrooms across the state to provide live hits and localized angles on statewide issues.
• Build a source network:
  Quickly develop deep relationships with lawmakers, advocates, and community leaders to uncover the stories others miss.

• Unmatched reach:
  Your work will be seen across the state and the country, giving you a massive platform to grow your brand.
• True autonomy:
  You’re the lead on this beat. We trust you to find the stories and tell them your way.
• Innovation at scale:
  Join a company that is leading the digital evolution of local news—not just talking about…
