Inside Indiana Business, a division of IBJ Media, is looking for a web and radio reporter to cover statewide business news and help coordinate several new regional business newsletters. This is a new position, and the duties can be tailored somewhat to meet the experience and skills of the successful candidate. But the ability to write strong web stories and voice interesting radio stories is essential. We’re also looking for someone who is curious, thoughtful, dependable and persistent.
The position will report to Inside INdiana Business Managing Editor Alex Brown and will be part of a larger 20-person newsroom that also produces the Indianapolis Business Journal.
Job responsibilities:
- Writing and reporting for Inside INdiana Business’s twice-daily newsletters with a focus on generating statewide lead stories.
- This will occasionally require travel throughout the state to cover stories as assigned and create business contacts for future stories.
- Writing, recording and editing morning radio reports for Inside INdiana Business’s public radio affiliates, as well as the IIB Radio on Demand podcast.
- Coordinating freelance work and other stories for several planned regional newsletters, which will be aimed at Indiana markets.
Requirements:
- Ability to work independently and generate story ideas
- Curiosity about business issues and stories
- Fast, thorough writing
Preferred skills, but not all required:
- Experience with WordPress
- Ability to use Adobe Audition and Photoshop
- Familiarity with Microsoft Outlook, Teams and Word
If you’re a reporter who can write and record interesting stories about business, government and the economy, email a resume, cover letter and samples of web and radio stories to Editor Lesley Weidenbener at lweidenbener@ibj.com and Managing Editor Alex Brown at abrown@iibnews.com.
