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.

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. In the end, the MBJ has up-to-the-minute breaking news and below-the-surface enterprise journalism that matters and makes a difference to you and our readers.
