Greater Wilmington Biz Journal seeks a reporter

Greater Wilmington Business Journal/WILMA magazine is looking for a reporter to add to its growing team of writers in Southeastern North Carolina.

Ideal candidates would be self-motivated; care about quality writing; able to juggle deadlines and multiple projects; research subjects; be comfortable with web writing and social media – posting quickly and accurately on our sites; generate compelling story ideas; look for trends and narratives that provide context to our daily headlines and lifestyle content; and contribute to ideas as we continue to evolve and find new ways to connect with readers in new formats and focus areas.

Founded in 2000, the independent, locally owned Business Journal publishes a newspaper twice a month and online daily at WilmingtonBiz.com. We also publish a glossy business news magazine quarterly called WilmingtonBiz Magazine as well as WILMA magazine, which focuses on successful women.

Located in Wilmington, N.C., minutes from the ocean, the Business Journal/WILMA offers a reporter the opportunity to cover a fast-growing community. At least two years of reporting experience preferred but will consider recent college grads.

To apply, please submit a letter of interest, resume and four to six clips to:

Editor Vicky Janowski at vjanowski@wilmingtonbiz.com or Greater Wilmington Business Journal, 219 Station Road, Suite 202, Wilmington, NC 28405.
No phone calls please.
