This beat would focus on how staffing affects those business decisions. This reporter would be expected to generate story ideas and analysis for an executive audience that makes decisions that impact how healthcare is delivered in America. Our goal is for our reporting to impact and shape policy and hold organizations accountable. The reporter will be responsible for daily news coverage for our website, e-newsletters and magazine, as well as calendared features and enterprise work. Successful candidates are curious, take initiative and enjoy being part of a highly motivated editorial team. You would have the opportunity to collaborate with other reporters in Chicago and other bureaus as well as data and graphics team members. Modern Healthcare’s audience primarily includes healthcare industry executives at hospitals, insurers, physician groups and other affiliated organizations including lobbying groups and policymakers on the federal, state and municipal level.
