Hartford Business Journal seeks online reporter

The Hartford Business Journal, an award winning business media organization, is looking for an online reporter/producer who has journalism, Internet and social media chops and is able to meet tight, daily deadlines.

The online reporter/producer will lead HBJ’s online news efforts and products including CT Morning Blend and HBJ Today.

Primary responsibilities will be writing, editing, and posting breaking news to the web (HartfordBusiness.com) and sending out our two daily e-newsletters.

CT Morning Blend is a news aggregation newsletter that publishes at 7:30 a.m. Responsibilities include finding the top business news stories from around the state and aggregating them in a morning newsletter. This position requires you to work early mornings.

HBJ Today is generated using staff content. The online reporter/producer writes most of the content (usually 7-10 story briefs a day) and then sends the email at noon.

The position will also require writing occasional news stories for print.

We’re looking for journalists with a minimum of 1 to 2 years of experience. A business journalism background is a plus. We offer full health, dental and other benefits and a competitive salary.

Please send a copy of your resume and salary requirements to HBJ editor Greg Bordonaro: gbordonaro@HartfordBusiness.com

This is for an immediate hire.
