This is a role for a journalist who is endlessly curious about restaurants, dining trends, neighborhoods, and the people behind them.
You should be excited to be the first to hear about a buzzy new restaurant opening, eager to track down hidden gems across the region, and interested in telling the stories behind institutions that have fed generations of Baltimoreans.

Develop ambitious stories that explore the intersection of food with business, culture, politics, development, labor, affordability, and community life.
Build and maintain a deep source network that includes chefs, restaurateurs, hospitality workers, developers, liquor board members, neighborhood leaders, diners, and other stakeholders.
Collaborate with editors, photographers, designers, audience staff, and other newsroom partners to create compelling storytelling across platforms.
A demonstrated ability to generate original story ideas and develop exclusive reporting.
Work together. We collaborate to create something special. Together we challenge assumptions, trust each other, take risks, and foster transparent and direct communication.
Deliver impactful results. Acting as one accountable team and driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, we deliver bold and innovative results. We act fast, execute and learn. We celebrate great outcomes.

At least 5 years of journalism experience, preferably covering food, restaurants, dining, culture, business, or a related beat.
The ability to explain complex issues clearly, accurately, and engagingly.
Experience using social media and other digital tools to report stories, identify trends, and connect with audiences.
Comfort working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven newsroom environment.

$70,000 - $85,000.
Individual pay may vary from the target range and is determined by several factors, including experience, internal pay equity, and other relevant business considerations.
