Central Penn Biz Journal seeks banking and finance reporter

The Central Penn Business Journal, a leading publisher of digital and print content for the business community in Central Pennsylvania, is looking for an experienced journalist to cover our banking/financial services beat and take reporting ownership of our growing Lancaster coverage area.

The award-winning Journal’s mission is to guide the conversation for the business community, whether that communication is in person—events, roundtables and symposiums—or through digital and print communication. We help recognize business leaders for their accomplishments, provide marketing solutions for our clients and uncover the business news that drives our local economy.

The ideal candidate will collaborate with team members throughout the company, write stories that affect the midstate and cover the various needs of the competitive banking and financial services beat. We need someone who is a natural self-starter, can work independently and is able to juggle multiple responsibilities at any given time.

The ideal candidate will have proven news judgment and experience with reporting and writing on many types of platforms. We also need someone with the curiosity to try new digital tools and an understanding of the news and data needs for the business-to-business market. You’ll help generate online content for our website and print publications.

Please send a resume along with your cover letter and three writing examples.

To apply, go here.
