Chicago Tribune seeks tech reporter

The Chicago Tribune seeks a creative, news-driven business reporter to cover the digital economy.

This beat roams wide but has Chicago as its focus, and includes in its purview start-ups, tech incubators, smart phones, social media, traditional technology companies and innovations too new and mind-blowing to be identified here.

This is not a gadget reviewing assignment; it’s a business reporting job. So it’s all about breaking news, analyzing trends and explaining the impact of technology on our readers.

As part of our award-winning team, the tech writer will toggle between writing quick pieces for the Web and reporting out sophisticated, in-depth stories.

Minimum newsroom experience: 3-5 years. To apply, please send a resume and clips to Michael Lev, associate managing editor for business, Chicago Tribune, at mlev@tribune.com
