Daily Journal of Commerce seeks real estate reporter

The Daily Journal of Commerce, a Portland-based business-to-business news and information resource for the building industry in Oregon and Southwest Washington, has an opening for a real estate and development reporter.

We’re a small, fast-paced newsroom, and we’re looking for a journalist with a competitive streak who’s eager to help move the DJC to the next level of digital coverage for our subscribers.

Our ideal candidate:

• is interested in helping our readers understand the world of real estate development in the Portland-metro area;

• has the depth and versatility to handle breaking news, tightly written (but entertaining) features and profiles, and long-form stories that provide readers with an understanding of the industry’s issues and challenges;

• is able to adapt writing style for print, online and social media platforms;

• has a knack for enterprise stories;

• understands that the written word isn’t the only way to tell a story;

• and is a whiz at social media.

To apply: Submit a resume and five published “clips” (provide direct links or attach Word docs). If you’re as skilled at video/photography as you are with words, feel free to submit up to three additional links to examples that show off your storytelling skills using video and/or photos.

Using the subject line “DJC reporter position,” email your clips/clip links and resume to stephanie.basalyga@djcoregon.com. Clips must be nonfiction (news, features, etc.). No fiction or poetry, please. No phone calls.
