The U.S. economy is a hodgepodge of regions, cities, states, neighborhoods. To understand it, we need to be talking to the people, business owners and government officials who live in them. We’re looking for a reporter who, guided by data, can dig up stories that help our audience make sense of a constantly changing economic outlook.
Labor-market dynamics, big infrastructure projects, the effects of government spending, economic-policy debates are all fair game. We’re looking for a reporter who’s equally comfortable analyzing reams of economic data and unearthing the people-driven stories that illuminate it. We need a sharp writer who can translate complicated and nuanced information for our highly engaged audience.
The ideal candidate is a newshound who’s capable of nailing big scoops and writing ambitious features. This reporter is comfortable on video and audio, and loves to experiment with storytelling formats. We’re looking for something with a solid working knowledge of financial markets, the economy’s circulatory system, as well as the political dynamics that influence Americans’ attitudes about the country’s financial health. A desire to collaborate with colleagues in other coverage areas is a must.
This position is based in Atlanta and reports to the U.S. Economy Bureau Chief.
