If you can deliver the tough-to-get, most important business and financial stories of the day, then the Mississippi Business Journal is for you. We are looking for a reporter to cover the Tri-County area around the State Capitol who isn’t afraid to ask the tough question, research for accuracy and communicate in an interesting manner.

The basic beats to be covered by the prospective candidate are …

» Commercial and Residential Real Estate

» Technology

You get paid, get all the normal benefits and a sense of accomplishment at the end of every day. We get a business-savvy reporter, who is resourceful and able to evaluate news leads, develop story ideas, and build a reliable and credible source base.
