Blaze News is on the hunt for investigative reporters. We're talking top people - or those willing to get there. That means waking up with a raging hunger for breaking news, exposing truth, shattering narratives, and dominating the competition.
And by the way, a lot of that competition won't like you. That isn't simply because you're excellent at your job and work harder than they do, but because you'll be digging into topics and subjects they'd never dare disturb. You see, most Washington reporters are undercover palace guards for establishment norms. Don't care what they think. In fact, relish in it. They envy your freedom, so let that be your caffeine, your nicotine and your morning workout all in one concentrated dose.
What is a top investigator? It isn't just someone willing to break news, but someone who is able. It takes a combination of being bold but also being careful. Details are everything. Spreadsheets, financial disclosures, donation records, FOIAs, and hidden secrets all take clear-eyed, calculated inspection - and meticulous double checking.
But it isn't just spread sheets and records all day. The right candidates will uncover facts like a scholarly archaeologist, investigate theories like a homegrown Graham Hancock, set traps like a frontier mountain man, and then rush in, putting their subjects on-record in hallways, stairwells, and in their offices.
Journalism is a trade. We don't care if you went to school for it. We care if you're voraciously hungry, fanatically driven, painstakingly scrupulous, pugnacious and prolific.
We want to put wins on the board.
Our readers want to see wins on that board.
