The emphasis for this role will be on growing our audience reach through in-depth business coverage, which would include a focus on residential and commercial development, the impact on small businesses and the influx of larger chains in an evolving retail industry, gentrification and urban sprawl, and the wildly competitive real estate market.
This reporter must also be adept at breaking news and writing quick-turn stories to stay atop of openings and closings, economic development announcements and trends in the local business community.
To be successful, the reporter will need the background and skills to not only break news but to stay on top of it and own it, as well as to cultivate sources that allow the reporter to dominate business coverage in a competitive market.
Along with reporting breaking news and enterprise pieces, this journalist will also seek to tell stories in other ways, including short-form, vertical video. As readers increasingly consume video for news and information, our reporters aim to expand our digital presence with mobile-first storytelling to reach younger professionals on other platforms.
This position, which reports to our local Greenville editor, is one of our most productive roles in the Greenville newsroom, routinely leading in audience and subscription metrics as our audience for smart, insightful business news continues to grow rapidly.
If you are hired, you will join an ambitious, Pulitzer Prize-winning culture where talented journalists can pursue the best work of their careers, limited only by their ambition and determination.
The Post and Courier is privately held and is investing in its journalism. We began expanding across the state in 2020, seeking to fill a void in news deserts or areas where local news coverage had withered. We now operate Post and Courier newsrooms in multiple South Carolina cities — from Charleston, to Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, Beaufort County/Hilton Head, Florence and Myrtle Beach.
We are a passionate, dedicated, digital-driven news organization and seek someone who shares that journalistic passion and commitment to excellence.
