Barron’s seeks a trending news reporter

Barron’s, one of the leading financial and investing publications in the U.S., is seeking a reporter who can insightfully cover breaking business news and knows the U.S. market well. You will be part of the Barron’s trending news team, which eschews commodity stories in favor of delivering analysis—or an interesting angle—about the news in the timeframe readers are searching to understand news events. The reporter may have the opportunity to write longer reported-out features and analytical pieces so some experience of this would be an advantage.

You Will:

  • Track breaking news of publicly traded companies, financial markets, and other subjects of interest to Barron’s readers
  • Generate analysis and angles on the day’s biggest stories
  • Write quickly and cleanly under tight deadlines

You Have:

  • At least 3+ years of experience working as a reporter at a national or trade business news publication
  • The ability to write cleanly and quickly on a tight deadline
  • The capability to offer insights into the biggest stories of each day using FAQs, charts, and other news-you-can-use story forms.
  • Passionate about markets and finance, energized by breaking news
  • Relentlessly committed to factual accuracy
  • Familiarity with corporate balance sheets, financial valuations, and investing principles would be ideal
