  • They should be skeptical, but not cynical — genuinely excited to be covering the changes and disruptions occurring in newsrooms, board rooms and beyond, but also ready to take a critical look at them.

The Essentials

  • BA preferred or equivalent education/training/experience.
  • Good knowledge of or passion for business and media news.
