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.

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.
