Maryland Matters is an independent, nonprofit newsroom based in Annapolis. We’re part of States Newsroom, the nation’s largest state-focused nonprofit news organization. We have more reporters covering Annapolis than any media outlet in the state, but are still a small team punching above its weight.
We stepped in eight years ago to fill the void left as legacy media abandoned state and local news coverage. We’ve been going strong since then, covering all the important issues: education and transportation, poverty and health care, energy and the environment, the business community and organized labor, and of course, politics. We are based in Annapolis but range the state to give Maryland citizens the news they need to hold their government and elected officials accountable.

– Take photos to illustrate and amplify stories, employ other media as appropriate
The successful candidate will have at least two years’ reporting and/or editing experience at a news outlet (student journalism counts) and be able to write clearly and comprehensively about policy, making complicated topics understandable to the layperson.
Experience covering a legislature is preferred but not required. States Newsroom journalists are expected to produce at least four posts per week. Bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply.
Authorization to work in the United States is required. All States Newsroom employees are required to have been vaccinated for COVID-19 within 30 days of hire. Access to a regular, reliable transportation is essential.
