Bloomberg seeks a reporter to cover Chicago money and power

Bloomberg is looking for an insightful and versatile reporter to cover money, power and the economy in Chicago at a critical moment for the city. You’ll be a go-getter, who can build a network of sources to write stories about some of Chicago’s most important financial firms, richest families, and the role they play in shaping power and politics in the Midwest. You’ll be required to break news and write long-form stories that connect the dots with what’s going on nationally.

Based out of Bloomberg’s Chicago office, the role also offers the opportunity to tap into real estate, culture wars and the broad themes impacting the country ahead of the 2024 Presidential elections.

You’ll be required to produce stories across all our platforms, from the Bloomberg Terminal to our magazines. In this high-profile position, you’ll be expected to cut through jargon, telling finance stories to a broad audience and capturing the most important issues affecting the city.

•   Break news on the biggest finance firms and richest families in Chicago and the Midwest
•   Have a wide network of sources that you can tap at short notice
•   Write both short- and long-term form under tight deadlines
•   Collaborate closely with colleagues across the newsroom

YOU’LL NEED TO HAVE:

•   A track record of breaking news
