Barron’s seeks a breaking news reporter

Barron’s is seeking a high-energy reporter who can insightfully cover breaking business news.

We are seeking a fast writer who can quickly offer insights into the biggest stories of each day. While others are producing commodity stories, this reporter should write stories that deliver analysis — or an interesting angle — about the news in the timeframe readers are searching to understand news events.

A successful candidate should be digitally savvy, with a keen understanding of how to generate a large audience by making the news digestible by using FAQs, charts and other news-you-can-use story forms. We are seeking a clean writer who has experience working in a fast-paced digital newsroom. Barron’s strongly values teamwork, so a collaborative approach is required.

Interested candidates can send a resume, no more than three clips in PDF form and a cover letter to David Cho david.cho@barrons.com or Bob Rose bob.rose@barrons.com or apply through the link provided.

Responsibilities include:

  • Able to generate quick angles and strong ideas off the news and meet urgent deadlines.
  • Familiarity with corporate balance sheets, financial valuations and investing principles.
  • Clean, deadline writer
