Our show is a journey into the identity of Nashville, and a lot of our work dives into our history and its significance to the city we know today.

We’ve taken listeners out into the field with us on a quest to find the purple martins, a night out at one of few remaining lesbian bars in the country, a celebration in Promise Land, Tennessee, and a hike to find a rare and extremely valuable ‘miracle plant.’

WPLN News is the newsroom of Nashville Public Radio, a community-licensed, nonprofit news outlet that strives to cover our region with context, courage and respect. Within the newsroom, our collaborative and diverse team works together to help every journalist realize their potential on the job, while also giving them space to live a full life outside of it. We strive to perform at the highest level: In recent years, our newsroom has received a Peabody, a National Murrow Award and a Pulitzer finalist nod, as well as the Daniel Schorr Prize for the best public media journalist under 35.

How does the application and selection process work?

Cover letter. Please explain why you bring what we’re looking for.
Clips. Please upload four examples of your work and an explanation of why you’ve chosen these examples. Audio is most welcome.
Resume. Please keep it to one page, and submit it as a PDF. (No need to include your references on this — we’ll ask you for those later if you make it to the finalist round.)
Deadline to apply: March 24, 2023

Our search committee will evaluate those materials on the following criteria:

Production chops. We’d like to see strong ideas for what makes a compelling segment.
Calm and creativity in a daily news environment. This job will involve juggling logistical details and problem-solving. Our workflow is designed to minimize the daily pressure, but if a crisis ensues, how will you handle it?
Commitment to equity. We want to see a clear and demonstrated ability in reaching out to and including diverse communities.
Community engagement. Building and maintaining new and meaningful source relationships is a must. We need to see a clear ability to do that.
Quality and range in past work. We want to see your range as a journalist. What are your areas of focus and how do you build your repertoire for them?

Audio skills are a plus.

After rating each application, our search committee will choose a set of finalists to interview. Finalists will then be asked to complete a brief production exercise, and a second round of interviews. If you do not make it to the finalist round, we will alert you by email as promptly as possible. (No ghosting here.)
