BusinessDen.com seeks a reporter

BusinessDen.com, an online business news site covering Denver, seeks an experienced and competitive reporter who will break news.

Our newsroom’s fourth reporter would cover a variety of beats, including Denver’s suburbs, public companies, startups and notable leases — with the potential to adjust based on a reporter’s strengths. Existing staff members focus on commercial real estate and litigation.

BusinessDen is a profitable company with thousands of paid subscribers marking our 10th year in a great and competitive news town — one of the only in the country with two competing business news publications. Our reporters are expected to land the news first.

We publish five days a week. Reporters generally file at least one story a day. We rarely cover press releases or news conferences that we know will be covered by other media outlets. A licensing deal means some of our stories are republished in The Denver Post, expanding our reach.

Applicants should have at least three years reporting experience, including experience with daily deadlines, and a demonstrated interest in business news. You will scour public records and, critically, develop sources by meeting in person with key players on the beats you cover.

Salary: $50,000 – $70,000 based on experience.

Reporters work from our office in downtown Denver. Benefits include health insurance, a retirement plan with company match and paid vacation. We have a 17-year-old sister site, Richmond BizSense, in Richmond, Virginia.

To apply, email a resume and clips to BusinessDen editor Thomas Gounley, as well as a cover letter discussing your best scoop(s), at thomas@businessden.com.
