Post and Courier seeks biz reporter to cover tourism

The Post and Courier is seeking an experienced business reporter to cover the fastest growing economy in the Southeast. This reporter will focus on the thriving and multifaceted tourism industry in Charleston and the rest of South Carolina and will handle general assignment and enterprise stories as they arise.

There are opportunities in this Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom to do some of the best work of your career, limited only by your ambition and curiosity. Post and Courier business reporters have gone on to work at the Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones and Bloomberg News.

The Post and Courier is a locally owned newspaper, investing in its newsroom and expanding statewide at a time when others are contracting.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter, a team collaborator and communicator – especially needed in this remote yet fast-paced work environment – and a critical thinker. We’re looking for a reporter who is interested in sharing with readers how the business world operates, someone who enjoys connecting the dots of how projects and moves fit into the bigger economic picture. We are looking for a strong writer, able to translate complicated concepts into engaging stories.

Charleston is an international city that offers an incredible quality of life, named No. 1 city in the nation and No. 2 in the world by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Enjoy a thriving food and arts scene, surrounded by history and a natural environment that offers boundless outdoor recreation opportunities.
