Our Mission: 

The Bill of Rights declared that we have rights and liberties that the government shouldn't interfere with. Rights like the freedom of speech and our right to a speedy trial that are the cornerstone of our democracy and define what makes us American.

Protecting these liberties and pushing for more freedom and equality in our lives is our job.

The ACLU of Michigan's mission remains realizing the promise of the Bill of Rights for all and expanding the reach of its guarantees to new areas through all the tools at our disposal: public education, advocacy, organizing, and litigation. 

We are grateful for the hundreds of thousands of members and supporters nationwide, from all walks of life, who help us carry out our mission every day. 

We Represent Everyone

Rich or poor; straight or gay; black, white, or brown; urban or rural; pious or atheist; American-born or foreign-born; able-bodied or living with a disability; every person in this country has the same basic rights. For 90 years, we have been working diligently to ensure that no one takes those rights away.

The government reporter will be a critical part of the newsroom's coverage team and reports to the News Editor. This reporter will be responsible for daily accountability coverage of the mayor's office, Tulsa-based tribal governments, Tulsa City Council and other government agencies that hold officials and policymakers accountable, along with enterprise stories that dig into issues related to Tulsa governance.

The government reporter will be someone who can navigate the weeds of policy and politics but can also break down the stakes in clear terms for a large audience, empowering readers to participate in their own governance. Coverage will be proactive, rigorous, and responsive to the needs of Tulsa residents, particularly those in underserved or underrepresented communities. Through reporting techniques, including the use of public records and data collection, this reporter will shine a light on policies and lawmaking, how budgets work, and how public money is spent.

The government reporter will work in close partnership with the community journalism director in order to integrate community input and priorities into coverage of this beat.

Compensation and Benefits

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. The salary range for this role is $50,000-90,000 with a generous benefits package.
