[1/22/26] Mississippi Free Press Seeks Gulf Coast Bureau Reporter
The Mississippi Free Press is a statewide nonprofit news organization founded in March 2020 to “publish deep public-interest reporting into causes of and solutions to the social, political and structural challenges facing all Mississippians and their communities.” Reporters produce what we call “systemic journalism,” which investigates the underlying racial, historic and current structures that create and sustain challenges such as poverty, health disparities and education inequities. The MFP centers people, connecting personal stories to larger systems and actions by the powerful. Reporters go beyond documenting problems to explore and interrogate solutions.
As part of a partnership with Report for America, our Gulf Coast Bureau Reporter will expand our coverage of immigrant and working-class perspectives in our new bureau there, which is one of the most diverse regions of the state with myriad cultures beyond Black and white. This reporter will create strong connections with the Coast’s Vietnamese and broader Gulf communities with journalism to deepen our understanding of the region’s complex social, economic, and environmental dynamics and needs. As a result, our newsroom is expanding our audience and trust in the region. The reporter will serve as a vital bridge between the MFP and coastal residents, enhancing our coverage of the region’s resilience in the face of natural disasters, environmental challenges, and housing and development challenges.
