In short, this community of 120K has the business-sector punching power of a million-plus metro. The stories you’d tell here would be powerful and unique.
The Post Bulletin is the leading media organization in this corner of the state, and you would be its Business Editor. About one-third of your time would be spent on editing and leadership tasks, and the remaining two-thirds would be spent getting stories alongside two other talented and productive reporters. Business is a high-readership content area where we have chosen to focus our efforts.
We want a good storyteller in this role, and you’d lead our team with regular, in-depth “wow” content from the health/medical/tech sector. The ideal candidate will be a good fit in a newsroom full of smart, egoless high performers who work together like a good family.
We are a digital-first newsroom. So, we think a lot about how to best serve our readers, and measure the results of our work. We’d like you to have a strong interest in digital storytelling, data and enterprise reporting, and you’ll know (or quickly learn) how to use readership data to form your approach to coverage.
You would be the leader of our business reporting team. We are looking for someone who will be active and visible in the community, make connections and find undiscovered story topics to pursue.
Rochester boasts an educated and loyal readership with high expectations for news coverage, and the community is increasingly diverse, with more than 80 languages spoken in the public school system.
The Post Bulletin has been serving this area’s information needs for 150 years. Today, we publish seven daily editions online, twice weekly in print. And we operate around the clock at our website, www.postbulletin.com.
The Post Bulletin is part of Forum Communications Co., a family-owned network of more than 35 news, niche and broadcast media brands based in Fargo, N.D. While other media companies are cutting back, we’re investing in content and adding to our reporting staff. Not one journalist was cut from any of our newsrooms during the pandemic. Join us as we show the world what a successful media company looks like.
