Maine paper seeks business reporter

The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram seeks an outstanding, accomplished business reporter to join its team.

We are an ambitious news organization with high standards, and we need a self-motivated reporter who can do it all – from major investigations and data-driven journalism to breaking news and profiles.

For the right candidate, this is a fantastic opportunity. But you must be able to juggle a lot – big enterprise stories, Page One dailies and breaking news. You also must be adept at working with data, comfortable in a digital-first environment and a savvy user of social media.

If you are the best at what you do and share our zeal for ambitious journalism, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. You will be part of Maine’s finest and largest news gathering operation, and you’ll live in a region with an extraordinarily high quality of life.

Newspaper, wire service, website and/or magazine experience is required, along with a background in business journalism.

Send a cover letter, your resume and five examples of your most stunning work to Michael Miller, Assistant to the Editor, at mmiller@mainetoday.com. We are an EEO employer. Application deadline is November 14, 2014.
