Job Overview
The right candidate will be able to produce two tightly written stories per day. A knack for working sources in person and on the phones is a must.
Qualifications
We look for three qualities when hiring reporters: a natural curiosity, a proven work ethic and a fierce competiveness. You must relish breaking a scoop and hate the taste of getting beat by a competitor.
If you are the sort of reporter who picks up a news tip in the cab to the airport, while getting your bike tuned or in line for a bagel, we want to hear from you.
Other basic qualifications
– At least 5 years of business reporting experience (willing to consider younger applicants who impress us)
– Proven ability to dig up stories through old-fashioned source work and documents (new business licenses, legal filings …)
– Clean and crisp writing style
– Some editing experience to help fill in when needed
About us
Our first newsroom, RichmondBizSense.com in Richmond, VA, has been running profitably for 10 years. We are replicating our innovative all-online model throughout the country. Denver is our next challenge and is now in its third year.
About Denver
Denver is a fantastic place to live and report – with major league sports, 300 days of sunshine and of course world-class, four-season recreation.
Compensation
Pay based upon experience.
To Apply
Please send a cover letter explaining why you are the best candidate for this position to jobs@businessden.com. Please explain both your business reporting highlights and your interest in the beat and include 3-5 clips of your hard news business writing. And tell us the biggest scoop you’ve broken and how you landed it.
