The Rockford Register Star is part of the USA TODAY NETWORK and looking for a smart, self-motivated, ambitious, digital-minded reporter to become a leading voice in business coverage in the Rockford area. This reporter is responsible for developing a multi-faceted beat that includes all aspects of business reporting from economic development, urban renewal, employment, transportation and housing to business openings and closings, particularly those in key industries of manufacturing, healthcare and food and dining. The ideal candidate for this job is an investigative reporter who understands how to develop sources and use local public records along with state and federal databases, annual and quarterly reports, FOIA and social media to write stories. Must be able to juggle multiple stories at a time and work with urgency to meet daily and long-range deadlines. We’re looking for someone with clean copy and a rock-solid knowledge of AP style who can file stories from the field as easily as they can from a desk. Previous business reporting and at least two years of experience at a daily newspaper or equivalent media are preferred. We are a hybrid-work office. Must be available to work some evenings and weekends and be available to cover breaking news. Relocation is required.
