New York Business Journal seeks tech reporter

ACBJ seeks an experienced reporter to cover venture capital and the Silicon Alley startup scene for the New York Business Journal.

This is a high-profile position that requires both daily posts on breaking and developing news as well as longer-term story development. Plus, the reporter will write a column for the Upstart Business Journal.

Business Journal reporters must establish themselves as the go-to source of news, data and perspective. The top mission: to own audience, by every measure. They must marry strong traditional journalism skills – source building, sharp interviewing techniques, strong analytical and investigative reporting skills, clear writing, document use – with online and social media know-how. Reporters are expected to break important hard news and use other tools like video to tell the story behind the headlines, providing deeper analysis of newsworthy events.  We strive to produce content – original and curated – that is accompanied by perspective and context.

The Venture Capital/Silicon Alley reporter will write about big venture and angel rounds, IPOs, innovative startups that seek to disrupt sectors and industries, business trends, as well as the entrepreneurs and investors changing the business landscape.

The reporter will work out of the Business Journals’ New York office in the Times Square/Rockefeller Center area. This is a full-time, staff position.
