New Orleans CityBusiness seeks reporter

Our newsroom’s goal is to break transactional business news and provide insight after the fact as to why this news is important to our readers. It’s what we call “business intelligence” – a commodity that is so valuable to our readership that they cannot do business without it.

Please send links to or attachments of your best work (which doesn’t have to be your most recent) along with a resume and original cover letter.

No phone calls please.
