Public Safety

2 weeks ago

Utica, United States GANNETT Full time

The Utica (N.Y.) Observer-Dispatch / uticaod.com seeks a reporter with a deep interest in how communities find solutions to public safety needs. This reporter strives to serve the needs of the people most affected by crime and highlights the solutions and challenges they face.

Breaking news, crime and courts are part of the beat, but we want to cover policing and criminal justice through a governmental accountability lens and rebuild trust with neglected communities.

Based in Utica, the reporter will focus on news in Oneida County, Herkimer County and Madison County, and sometimes assisting with our USA TODAY Network news partners in New York.

This reporter will pursue some news du jourthat warrants coverage because of public interest and public impact. When an incident or trend is truly significant in terms of public impact, this reporter will seek angles answering "Who?"," How?" and "Why?"

A good way to think of this reporter's approach most days is determining how to make local news coverage more three-dimensional in our exploration of public safety threats and concerns and of the community's response to these. This is people-centered, community-based coverage that delivers relevance, context and useful information to all readers.

This could include reporting on how public safety issues also impact health outcomes, including mental health outcomes, and the impact that trauma has on communities.

Much of the time, this reporter will be examining the effectiveness of community safety efforts through reviews of data and public documents and interviews with law-enforcement sources and community residents. At a time of rising gun violence, what efforts by police or others might be productive? And which ones are not? This reporter will use data to highlight what disparities, racial or otherwise, might develop from specific community safety approaches.

USA TODAY Network New York has published and maintains a database of police disciplinary records from across New York state; developing revelatory stories out of this information is one objective of this reporter, partnering with peer reporters on the New York State Team and at other Gannett sites.

It is vital this reporter develops law-enforcement sources and builds trust in city, county, local and state policing organizations. This helps us hold agencies accountable while also ensuring law-enforcement perspectives are explored in our journalism.

Overall, this reporter will embrace the needs, concerns and solutions experienced and expressed by the people who live in our cities and towns, particularly members of marginalized communities whose voices historically have been absent from much public safety coverage.

Where possible, coverage should point to solutions to public safety threats and concerns, including examining how readers can protect themselves.

This journalist will also be involved in other general breaking news or topics as needed.

This reporter works with a New York Regional Editor and other journalists in the state to plan and deliver content for readers most likely to find our work on mobile devices and through social media shares or Google searches.

An ideal candidate is someone capable of quickly establishing their voice and building a loyal following on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
