Director of Enterprise & Investigative Reporting - Everyday Health

New York, NY, United States

Description
MedPage Today is looking for either a healthcare journalist or a healthcare-interested journalist with a strong appreciation for enterprise and investigative work who can contribute enterprise stories to the site, while also helping guide the growth of MedPage’s investigative, watchdog work.
The Director of Enterprise and Investigative Reporting will have a hand in all aspects of writing, identifying, pursuing, promoting and following up on work that uncovers new information, holds truth to power, exposes fraud, or explains how complex issues work.
What that means at MedPage is different than at many outlets. We know our readers -- the physicians, nurses, physician assistants and other medical professionals around the U.S. and, to some degree, the world. They’re sophisticated and skeptical. They care deeply about their craft. They want MedPage Today to keep an eye on the regulators just as much as the ne’er-do-wells. They want us to be willing to ask hard questions and report on what we learn in a balanced and nuanced way.
This position will be responsible for enterprise reporting efforts in the NYC area and also for helping instill the ethos of shoe-leather reporting in our New York-based journalists. He or she will also corral and grow our stable of freelance investigative reporters and work closely with our social media manager to make sure this work is getting noticed.
While the exact work may fluctuate, ultimately you have one goal: Maintain and grow an engaged audience of medical professionals through enterprise, investigative/watchdog stories. You will have significant freedom, and a budget, to pursue that goal as you see fit.
At MedPage, our track record is strong. Over the past two years, our work has resulted in federal indictments, exposed pharma’s willingness to push questionable science in the name of profit, and identified hundreds of doctors operating with clean licenses despite serious sanctions. We’ve received top honors from the Association of Healthcare Journalists and Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the Barlett and Steele award for business journalism.
Candidates with a love of gifs and alliteration and who possess an innate ability to write Gawker-style headlines will be preferentially considered. Come join MedPage Today’s dedicated, fun-loving and hardworking team of medical journalists!
