Investigative Moreton Bay News Writer

I need a journalist who knows the Moreton Bay region well enough to break stories rather than just report them. Your brief is to deliver investigative, in-depth news articles that dig into three core areas of local interest—politics, community events and business developments—and explain why they matter to residents.

What I expect
• Original reporting: on-the-record interviews, verifiable data and clear sourcing.
• Depth over speed: I value accuracy, context and narrative flow more than rush jobs.
• Clean copy: 900–1,200 words per story, ready for publication, following standard newsroom style (AP or AAP is fine).
• Local insight: pitch angles that only someone familiar with Moreton Bay would notice.

Turnaround and workflow
We will agree on a story slate first. Once an angle is approved, you’ll keep me updated from research through to final draft. Fact-checking, basic image captions and a short list of references are part of the hand-off.

If you can uncover fresh information, earn trust with sources and craft compelling leads, let’s talk about the first assignment right away.
