MarketWatch.com seeks reporter to cover startups

MarketWatch.com seeks a reporter to cover the world of startups with an entrepreneurial energy and innovative mindset befitting the subject.

The beat should be approached three ways: 1. As a personal finance/career story (should I mortgage my home and drain my 401(k) to get this company off the ground?). 2. How the news of the day, major economic developments, and policy decisions affect startups and small businesses. (How will health-care reform change affect entrepreneurs?). 3. What hot startups and their disruptive big ideas mean for investors and consumers.

The job requires at least three years of news experience, strong writing skills, and a keen understanding of how to engage audiences on social media. This position is based in New York.

Please attach a resume, cover letter and three to five published clips to your online application.

To apply, go here.
