Are you passionate about telling stories that matter and ensuring all voices are heard? Do you thrive on connecting with diverse communities to understand their unique perspectives? The Modesto FOCUS , a new nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom, is looking for a Bilingual Communities Reporter to help us build a vibrant new platform for journalism in Modesto and Stanislaus County.
As part of the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative , The Modesto FOCUS will launch in mid-2025 with a mission to deliver high-quality journalism that reflects the reality of our diverse region. Modesto is a vibrant community with a rich cultural tapestry: approximately 46% of the population identifies as Latino, 39% as White, 8% as Asian, 4% as Black, and 3% as multiracial. This role is at the heart of that mission: covering issues and stories that impact all of Modesto’s communities, with a special focus on bilingual and multicultural perspectives.
This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a startup newsroom. You’ll have the freedom to innovate, the chance to build deep community connections, and the responsibility to help ensure that our journalism serves everyone in Modesto and Stanislaus County. Content produced by this reporter will also appear in Spanish on our companion site, El Enfoque Modesto , ensuring we connect with and serve Spanish-speaking audiences directly.
