Job Responsibilities
A Business Journal reporter is competitive, collaborative and curious. They are expected to contribute both short- and long-form stories to our news products online, in email and in print. Specifically, reporters are expected to own every important story on their beats; use networking events, social media platforms and other community-building outlets to expand and fortify their source base and audience; work collaboratively with other newsroom staffers to maximize the impact and accessibility of stories reported; and meet or exceed goals related to audience engagement.
We expect our tech reporter to go beyond the press releases, valuations or funds raised to break news and explore the big-picture trends impacting the technology and innovation community in the Denver area. Startups and legacy companies are thriving here and we want our audience to understand both what’s cool about them and the nuances of their successes — or failures.
The DBJ’s innovation beat has standalone branding as Colorado Inno. This reporter would be responsible for populating Colorado Inno’s site and social media platforms with the support of a national Inno team as well as local DBJ editors. This reporter also has the opportunity to build their newsletter skills by writing a twice-weekly, technology-focused newsletter with a growing audience.
This reporter will produce articles accompanied by perspective and context for a vibrant audience of entrepreneurs, business owners, executives and professionals in one of the nation’s most vibrant economic regions.
