The Quad-City Times ( www.qctimes.com ) has an immediate opening for an experienced reporter to cover the city governments of Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa. This is a perfect opportunity for a city hall reporter at a smaller paper, looking to move to a bigger market, or a reporter at a larger market looking to move into a political beat.

This is one of the most important beats in our newsroom. The ideal candidate sees themselves as an advocate for our readers and a champion of open government; a solid reporter who is also a great storyteller, able to use reporting and writing to show readers why tax levies and zoning changes matter; has a proven track record of accuracy, high ethical standards and tenacity; and has demonstrated the ability to cultivate and grow an audience.

You’ll join a newsroom that is thinking creatively about our future. We’re looking for a team member with ideas and energy.

We have a new editor who has a passion for enterprise work and journalism that makes a difference. If you are driven, you’ll get a chance to do the best work of your career here.
