Summary:

The Indigenous Affairs Producer/Reporter (IA P/R)
will produce enterprise
journalism from and about Nevada
Native communities that drives awareness,
conversation and change. The
work will include reporting,
writing and recording audio news spots and features; producing
segments for the
State of Nevada current affairs show; and writing stories for Desert Companion
magazine and newsletter.

The IA P/R must be a self-starter who is
able to travel the region,
embedding with tribes
and Indigenous groups as
required to fully understand and accurately tell their stories.

The IA
P/R will report on,
write, and/or produce stories
about communities, histories and issues in the context of Nevada,
the Mountain West region and
the nation. They will seek out stories that have
not yet been told
to general audiences. The goal is
to expand and deepen our
listeners’ and readers’ understanding
of and connection to their Indigenous neighbors.

Many pieces, such as news spots, will require
quick turnarounds. Others,
such as profiles, historical pieces, and deep dives, will take more time and need to be
followed over days, weeks, or months. Work should be distributed among Nevada
Public Radio’s various platforms — daily news, weekly newsletter or quarterly
magazine — as appropriate to the story being told.

This position will report to the Managing Editor.
