ConsumerAffairs is hiring an Investigative Reporter who is driven to make a difference.
If you’re passionate about empowering consumers, exposing harmful practices, and digging into stories that impact everyday people’s health, safety, and financial security — this is the role for you.
Who You Are
You’re a journalist with a proven record of reporting on consumer-focused topics. Maybe you’ve covered finance, technology, health care, housing, or product safety. You ask tough questions, follow the data, and don’t stop until the truth is out. You thrive when given autonomy and are constantly pitching stories that deserve attention. You’re excited about bringing compelling, creative investigations to life — not just in words, but with data, visuals, and multimedia storytelling.
Generate hard-hitting investigative pieces and short-term accountability stories.
Pursue leads through open records requests, data analysis, and community sourcing.
Collaborate with editorial staff, data journalists, SEO experts, and other team members.
Shape stories with impact in mind — contacting stakeholders, engaging with communities, and working toward real-world change.
Envision each story as a full package, incorporating multimedia elements like photos, video, audio, and data visualizations.
Manage your own projects and deadlines in a fully remote environment, while staying connected with a collaborative team.
