Greater Wilmington Biz Journal seeks a reporter

The Greater Wilmington Business Journal is looking for a reporter to add to its business coverage in Southeastern North Carolina.

Ideal candidates would be self-motivated; comfortable with researching and compiling data; care about quality writing; dig for information and find stories others aren’t covering; take complex information and translate it; generate compelling story ideas; jump on breaking news and post quickly and accurately on our site and social media channels; look for deeper trends and narratives that provide context to our daily business headlines; and contribute to ideas as we continue to evolve and find new ways to connect with readers.

Founded in 2000, the independent, locally owned newspaper publishes a newspaper every other week and online daily at WilmingtonBiz.com. We also publish a glossy business news magazine quarterly called WilmingtonBiz Magazine. The Greater Wilmington Business Journal has won multiple publication awards in recent years from the AABP, Alliance of Area Business Publishers, including best overall publication nationally in its size.

Located in Wilmington, N.C., minutes from the ocean, the Business Journal offers a reporter the opportunity to cover a fast-growing community. At least two years of reporting experience preferred but will consider recent college grads. Business reporting experience preferred but not required.

To apply, please submit a letter of interest, resume and four to six clips to Editor Vicky Janowski at vjanowski@wilmingtonbiz.com or Greater Wilmington Business Journal, 219 Station Road, Suite 202, Wilmington, NC 28405.

No phone calls please.
