Job opening for childcare and early childhood education reporter.

The Detroit Free Press seeks a reporter to cover childcare, early childhood education and other crucial areas that affect the lives of children ages five and under and their families in metro Detroit and across Michigan.

This is a 14-month fellowship in which the reporter will dive into the needs and challenges of stakeholders in the broad universe of young kids, examining, among other issues, quality, affordability and availability of childcare and the impact those factors have on families and communities.

This coverage is about the well-being of Michigan’s youngest and the systems they and their families need to work in order for them to thrive. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, organized and empathetic journalist to listen to children, parents, childcare providers, caregivers and educators and produce consistent, meaningful reporting on this pivotal time in a child’s life.
