Dallas Business Journal seeks reporter

The Dallas Business Journal, the premier business news source for the rapidly growing Dallas-Fort Worth region, is seeking a dynamic reporter who craves breaking news scoops, enjoys diving deep into financial data and thrives writing meaningful enterprise stories.

We want someone who approaches business journalism with the tenacity, verve and authority of an investigative reporter, but with the energy and passion to break news daily for a savvy executive audience.

If that’s you, here’s why Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the top markets in the country for business journalism. The region is home to:

  • 21 Fortune 500 companies, including energy giants, technology titans, retail trendsetters, consumer products game-changers and two of the nation’s biggest and most profitable airlines.
  • The North American headquarters of global companies Samsung, NEC, Ericsson and British Telecom and, soon, Toyota Motor Corp.
  • The banking and auto lending capital of the Southwest, with all of the major financial institutions represented in the metropolitan area’s skyline.
  • 23 billionaires, including bigger-than-life sports team owners and a mix of old family wealth and newly created fortunes.

Dallas is truly a market where following the money trail leads to fascinating stories about some of the planet’s industry-changing companies.

The Dallas Business Journal is an American City Business Journals news organization with a highly valued weekly print publication, an aggressive daily news web site, a strong research arm producing sought-after business intelligence and a healthy events and awards business.

Our newsroom is a fast-paced environment where you’ll never be searching for your next challenge. It’s where you can do the best work of your career in one of the fastest growing regions in the nation.

What makes a successful reporter at the Dallas Business Journal? Our reporters marry strong traditional journalism skills – critical thinking, sharp interviewing techniques, a deep commitment to storytelling and clarity in business reporting, a devotion to source building and an intensely competitive spirit – with online and social media savviness. Simply put, we want reporters who want to own their beat in every way imaginable.

You can sample our work at dallasbusinessjournal.com, and find out more about our company at acbj.com.
