At times, we will want in-depth sophisticated issue coverage – again, driver by those affected – but contextualized by industry experts. In other cases, we might very well want more easily digestible consumer-focused coverage such as 5 Mistakes To Avoid When Selling a Home.
We expect a mix of daily news stories, weekend pieces longer-term enterprise. We also encourage this reporter to experiment with new ways to present information using new technologies and on new platforms.
This can include work with data visualization, video, standalone audio, or content specifically oriented to social media.
This reporter will work closely with two other business reporters who cover the economy/commercial development and workplace issues, as well as our local government and statehouse reporters on public policy issues that will affect home owners, buyers and sellers..
