The editor provides content, editorial direction, leads the newsroom and works with the associate publisher to serve a niche audience of small- and medium-sized businesses.
The Business Report operates in the heart of Columbia, within walking distance of South Carolina’s Statehouse and a vibrant downtown with a lively Main Street, world-class restaurants and an eclectic arts scene. The Business Report publishes daily email news and a biweekly print edition, as well as special sections throughout the year.
Candidates must have well-rounded reporting experience and solid news judgment and an ability to mentor reporters and writers.

Photography, digital and social media skills are required for this position.
Other requirements include a bachelor’s degree in journalism or English, clips from a general circulation publication, business-to-business publication or a magazine, and three professional references.
