Idaho Business Review seeks a reporter

Idaho Business Review, a subsidiary of BridgeTower Media, is seeking a sharp, curious and experienced reporter for this business publication with a weekly print edition and a website that’s updated throughout the day.

Headquartered in Boise, the Idaho Business Review has been the state’s go-to business publication for 35 years. Employees have the option of working from home or from our office space. Boise is known for its great quality of life, low crime and outdoor opportunities.

The successful candidate will have at least two years of hard news experience (college publications don’t count), strong knowledge of AP style, and comfort with social media and with the idea of driving web traffic.

Reporters work with the editor to write seven to 10 stories per week, to look for and create graphic elements such as tables and charts, and to develop strong local sources who can provide scoops and breaking news for the website.

If interested, please apply with a resume and five of your best business writing clips.
