Baltimore Beat is proud to announce our selection as a Report for America host newsroom. 

The beat’s title is “Justice and Accountability: Investigating Policing, Incarceration, and Civil Rights in Baltimore.” The reporter will use their time with us to investigate policing from a grassroots perspective, examining the ways community activism, money, and power all shape how we think about crime and policing.

The Report for America program matches journalists with newsrooms to report on under-reported issues and communities. 

We have always described ourselves as a teaching newsroom, and this program helps us further that mission.

Journalists can apply for open positions by February 3, 2025.
