Connecticut paper seeks a business reporter

The Journal Inquirer, an independent and aggressive news operation in north-central Connecticut, is looking for a reporter to cover the region’s diverse business community.

From major defense contractors, large insurance companies, and hospital chains to mom-and-pop operations, there is plenty of news to share with our dedicated readers. The reporter should be able to find the real story behind the spreadsheet or the press release, identify trends and watch for intelligent enterprise and features that inform and entertain our readers.

The ideal candidate should be 1-2 years experience covering the topic, but we will take seriously talented newcomers as well.

Send your cover letter, resume, work samples and social media links to Managing Editor Jim Konrad at jkonrad@journalinquirer.com. The Journal Inquirer is an equal opportunity employer.
