A Business Chronicle reporter is competitive, collaborative and curious, driven to produce scoops about important business deals, companies and executives; sophisticated analysis of the issues that affect the industry he or she covers; and savvy, important coverage of the executives, ideas and characters who make up that industry.
He or she is expected to contribute both short- and long-form stories to our news products online, in email, on mobile and in print. Specifically, reporters are expected to own every important story on their beat; use networking events, social media platforms and other community-building outlets to expand and fortify their source base and audience; work collaboratively with other newsroom staffers to maximize impact and accessibility of stories reported; and meet or exceed goals related to audience engagement. Also, scoops matter. A lot.
