MarketWatch.com seeks personal finance reporter

MarketWatch.com seeks a reporter who can filter the big news of the day through a single question: “What does this mean for me and my money?”

Based in New York, the ideal candidate will be have five years of journalism experience, preferably with knowledge of finance.

He or she will need to produce spot stories daily as well as work on longer enterprise features.
