We need someone who is driven to do the hard work of digging up scoops and is intrigued by the challenge of putting together the pieces of news to present a larger picture of the forces shaping our community. From expansions, relocations and other deals, to coverage of important real estate events, trends and executives, a good New York Business Journal reporter is editor of his or her own beat coverage and is easily able to assess what merits a story, an in-depth investigation or just a brief.
Candidates must be able to blend traditional journalism skills — source building, sharp news judgment, interviewing prowess and scoops-driven reporting — with digital and social media know-how. Reporters don’t just turn in copy; they must think more broadly about multimedia options, such as videos and galleries.
New York Business Journal reporters are expected to provide forward-looking business intelligence to savvy readers, not just to inform them, but also to connect them with decision-makers and educate them on the strategies that work — or don’t. A focus on the people behind the deals is essential.
Job Responsibilities
• Report and write short-form and long-form stories.
• Own the beat, dictating day-to-day coverage and thriving on digging out source-driven exclusives.
• Relentlessly develop sources and manage relationships with high-level executives and other community leaders.
• Engage in events hosted by the New York Business Journal, bringing together leaders of the local business community.
Skills & Experience
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.
• Desire and ability to break news and to identify newsworthy events and sources.
• Strong analytical and investigative-interviewing skills.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Ability to relate comfortably to a wide range of people — virtually, via phone and in-person.
• A clear drive to develop sources and build audience.
• Solid understanding of news writing, journalistic ethics and story structure.
• Ability to leverage relationships with sources to deliver content that differentiates the New York Business Journal.
• Multimedia skills — including video, photos, broadcast and on-camera — helpful.
