Tribal Business News seeks a senior business reporter

Tribal Business News has an immediate opening for a full-time senior business reporter. We’re looking for a highly motivated reporter to join our virtual newsroom to cover high-level business and economic stories affecting Indian Country.

This remote position will be responsible for in-depth and enterprise news coverage in high-value beats for the publication, with expectations for daily reporting and ongoing story output on a weekly basis. We want a reporter who can dive in and deliver specialized coverage that will help both Natives and non-Natives learn how to do business in Indian Country, understand best practices for starting and growing businesses, and uncover issues and trends that executives and policymakers can use to inform their decision making.

Based in Grand Rapids, Mich., Tribal Business News is an independent digital publication formed to serve as a leading source of business journalism in Indian Country, which is in the early stages of a crucial economic and entrepreneurial renaissance. At Tribal Business News, we believe in applying old-school journalism techniques in the digital era. We value conducting research, asking questions, working with editors to hone story angles and performing rigorous fact-checking before stories are published.

Our parent company, Indian Country Media LLC, also publishes Native News Online, an 11-year-old news website covering a range of important social, cultural and economic stories aimed at changing the narrative about Indian Country with fair and accurate reporting.

For the open position at Tribal Business News, we are looking for candidates who have had some prior business reporting experience and have a passion for finding and reporting stories not found anywhere else.

We will provide training and mentoring in business journalism and offer competitive pay, benefits and a flexible work environment. Please inquire at editor@tribalbusinessnews.com.
