Louisville Business First seeks reporter

Louisville Business First is looking for an ambitious and digitally savvy reporter who will thrive in our breaking news culture.

We are looking for a reporter who can marry strong traditional journalism skills – source building, sharp news judgment, interviewing prowess, clear writing, document use – with digital storytelling and social media know-how.

We want a reporter who sources relentlessly, wants scoops, gets exclusives and can tell readers what it means on all of our platforms: web, social media, video and print. Coverage areas include higher education – developing stories from where the business community and universities intersect – and the money beat: Finance, venture capital and deals.

The award-winning Louisville Business First is a part of American City Business Journals, which offers a broad range of benefits. To apply, email a cover letter, resume and clips that best show enterprising and scoop reporting to Lisa Benson, Editor, lisabenson@bizjournals.com.
