Orange County Biz Journal seeks innovation reporter

May 7, 2019

Posted by Chris Roush

The Orange County Business Journal, the industry-setting regional business publication covering a community exceeding 3 million people, is seeking an enterprising, aggressive journalist to join its editorial team.

We’re seeking a journalist with an interest in innovation, new technologies, and venture capital, who is capable of covering OC’s thriving ecosystem of start-up and growth-stage companies.

OC is the birthplace of Broadcom, Oculus, Blizzard Entertainment, Allergan, Edwards Lifesciences and dozens of other world-renowned technology and medical device companies. We’re looking for someone who can find the next big company here, and report on their growth.

We’re seeking first-tier business journalists who have a track record of breaking stories, cultivating relationships and sources, and meeting deadlines.

You’ll be writing a weekly column and feature stories for the most influential businesspeople in our community.

A sophisticated understanding of business – including a working knowledge of financial statements – is preferred.

Journalists will be joining one of the most respected, and widely-read, business publications in the country.

The Orange County Business Journal is a truly anomalous print publication, whose financial performance today surpasses the dot-com boom peak of 2000. Our editorial excellence has put us in a position to grow while other print media shrink.

We’re part of one of the top three groups of local business publications in the county. Our editorial department is highly accomplished and is the primary read of Orange County’s major corporate and community players.

The right candidate will have a chance to grow with us, with possibilities beyond.

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR RESUME, COVER LETTER, AND WRITING SAMPLES WITH THE APPLICATION. All submissions should be emailed to Courtney Zani, Director of Administration, at zani@ocbj.com with JOURNALIST RESUME in the subject line.
