Oregon is unhealthy, and it needs a relentless reporter to help it get well. This state ranks 48th in the country for youth mental health, and our rate of deaths from alcohol is double the national average. The state’s psychiatric hospital has no room to accept even the most dangerously troubled people, vaccination rates are plummeting, and Portland’s two largest hospital systems are on the brink of a merger that could dramatically reduce options for patients. Willamette Week, the locally owned Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper and media company in Portland, is seeking a healthcare reporter to cover everything from water fluoridation to medical bill-rigging. If you like stirring up trouble, can spot poor performers hidden in a government database, and have a knack for getting nurses to talk on background, you’re just the person we’re looking for. Come from a background that’s underrepresented in journalism? That’s even better. Send a resume and three clips to amesh@wweek.com.
