Chicago Tribune seeking biz reporter

he Chicago Tribune business section seeks an experienced business reporter and lively writer to cover these companies and other packaged foods, beverage, restaurant and grocery operators.

The successful candidate will be able to look beyond corporate decision-making to chronicle the broad impact of the food business on our readers’ lives.

If you’re up for a challenge and a great beat, please send via email clips, resume and cover letter to Michael Lev, Associate Managing Editor/Business, Chicago Tribune at MLev@tribune.com.  Subject heading: Food reporter.
