We are seeking a flexible and enthusiastic team player who thrives in the daily news cycle with a mix of stories that offer readers exclusive information about what’s happening in local business. We don’t want a traditional approach to business coverage. We want revelatory, audience-focused stories that tell readers how the business world is changing and provide high-utility insights into the businesses that intersect with their lives.
In addition to delivering the latest business news, this reporter should be able to put that news into context. We want a reporter who is the first to break news about the businesses that are opening and closing — and who can also explain how that news will affect readers. A successful candidate will be adept at balancing watchdog, enterprise and utility stories.
While this role is oriented toward reporting daily news stories, a successful candidate also will work with editors to develop deeper stories that explain what’s shaping business trends in the growing Sacramento region, which is home to nearly 2.5 million people. This journalist will report on what jobs are driving the local economy and how the Sacramento region’s dynamic business profile is evolving.
The successful candidate will be able to dissect the complexities of all these topics and regularly write high-interest stories that hold the powerful accountable and illuminate voices that are too often marginalized.
The position will demand a keen eye for sharp news angles, strong source-building skills and a proven track record for finding scoops and producing high-impact journalism.
