Bloomberg News is looking for a dynamic reporter to cover Florida from our Miami Bureau.
The nation’s third-most populous state is at the center of many of the most important stories in the US, whether that be Wall Street’s shift to the south, the 2024 presidential campaign, a looming recession or the fallout from imploding crypto markets. The job requires someone eager to break news and explore how business gets done in Florida — whether by hedge funds or lawmakers, banks or builders – all with a knack for storytelling about the state’s outsized personalities and political crosscurrents.
Bloomberg’s customers want to understand Florida as a place to live and do business but also as a financial hub for Latin America, a laboratory for climate impacts and a new frontier of demographic changes. The job reports to the Miami Bureau Chief.
We will trust you to:
- Work with the Miami Bureau Chief to produce coverage that is highly influential throughout Florida and across Bloomberg News’s global platforms
- Regularly break news and produce high-quality enterprise pieces
- Develop close relationships with other journalists and editors whose teams report on Florida and the trends there to spur coordination
- Be comfortable producing journalism on a variety of platforms, including print stories for the Terminal, Web and Bloomberg Businessweek; spots on Bloomberg Television and Radio as well as external broadcast networks; videos on Bloomberg Quicktake, and more
You will need:
- The capacity to work quickly and collaboratively under intense deadline pressure as well as on longer-range deadlines
- Exceptional news judgment and source-development skills
- The strongest candidates bring a history of breaking stories along with sources who can help them land other exclusives and in-depth pieces
- Spanish language skills a huge plus
