About the role
Modern Healthcare in a digital-first newsroom is seeking an enterprising journalist to cover policy and politics affecting the healthcare sector. You will track developments on Capitol Hill and at the state level, break news from Congress, build sources among lawmakers, aides and lobbyists, and deliver clear reporting with authority.
The role emphasizes enterprise and analysis, with formats including narrative pieces, explainers and Q&A interviews.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
