Local Democracy Reporter

Do you care about democracy? About people in power being held to account, without fear or favour?

Would you like to get to know North Yorkshire better? Well, we may have just the opportunity you are looking for.

The Yorkshire Post requires a Local Democracy Reporter to provide public interest journalism for North Yorkshire. You will ensure that matters, decisions and issues relating to the public authorities concerned are covered in a timely, impartial and robust way.

You will have an eye for detail, an approachable personality and a flair for storytelling – in words, pictures and video. The best LDRs are nosey; inquisitive, probing, questioning. You look at every lamppost notice you pass and submit FOIs in your sleep. Is that you?

If it is, we’d love you to join us at The Yorkshire Post where quality, investigative, public interest journalism, done for the betterment of the people and places we serve, is what we do and what we care about.

To apply please send your CV to james.mitchinson@nationalworld.com & jayne.lownsbrough@nationalworld.com
