The Houston Chronicle, one of the largest newspapers in the United States, is looking for a savvy general assignment business reporter.
This isn’t a “rewrite press releases” position. We’re looking for a versatile business journalist who can tackle a variety of topics and produce compelling stories online and in print. This person must be able to jump on breaking news, cultivate feature and enterprise stories, and think digitally as well as print. The successful candidate will be a proven collaborator and team player.
Greater Houston provides the ideal setting for any journalist with an interest in business news. Houston is a diverse, international metropolitan area anchored by some of the world’s largest energy companies, celebrated health institutions, a strong aerospace presence (NASA), fast-growing technology sector and the nation’s second-largest port.
The general assignment business reporter must get out of the newsroom to succeed in this market. We need a reporter who has demonstrated an ability to write engaging, sophisticated stories.
This demanding mission requires an experienced hand. Business journalism experience is a plus, but if you’re a sharp-minded journalist who wants to produce smart journalism, we want to hear from you.
