Santa Fe New Mexican seeks a business reporter

The Santa Fe New Mexican is looking for a journalist who can best inform our readers about Northern New Mexico’s vibrant and diverse business scene, one that includes a wide range of story and career opportunities.

The New Mexican is a locally owned and independent newspaper, blessed with a thoroughly engaged readership. You’ll drive the newspaper’s business coverage on a daily basis, produce a once-a-week business page, reimagine how we tell stories digitally, and play a key role in growing and retaining subscribers both in print and online.

We’re looking for a self-starter who is competitive, curious and digitally astute. Our business beat also must lean heavily into our philanthropic and nonprofit organizations.

Our newsroom is robust and diverse and you’ll be surrounded by busy, productive colleagues who care about doing great journalism every day, not just when the spirit moves them. You’ll also be a key liaison to the community, one that thinks of the newspaper not only as a media outlet, but often as a community treasure. Don’t apply unless you know how to work well with others.

Enterprise and self-sufficiency are critical to this position. We’re looking for someone who can produce great business stories with a minimum of supervision and loves the freedom to innovate. We’re seeking someone who wants to grow with our 175-year-old (and counting) institution.

Job requirements:

1. Bachelor’s degree and three years of experience at a daily newspaper.  Will consider a recent graduate.
2. Strong reporting, writing and digital skills, with an eye on telling stories in non-traditional ways, both in print and online.

Salary and job title are negotiable, depending on experience and demonstrated ability. Send your cover letter resume and links/clips of your best work to: Cynthia Miller, Content Editor, Santa Fe New Mexican, cmiller@sfnewmexican.com. No phone calls please.
