Orange County Biz Journal seeks reporters

The Orange County Business Journal, perhaps the most successful regional business publication in the country, covers a community exceeding 3 million people and some of the nation’s most famous business names. It is seeking enterprising, aggressive journalists to join its editorial team.

We’re hiring talented journalists who excel at breaking news, cultivating relationships and sources, and telling great stories.

You’ll be writing for a savvy business audience; we serve a readership that primarily consists of readers who run businesses and other organizations.  A sophisticated understanding of business – including a working knowledge of financial statements – is a must.

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 are not digital First; we are print First.

Orange County is filled with the corporate headquarters of household names like Vizio, Blizzard, Pimco, PacLife, Taco Bell, Chipotle and In-N-Out. It also has the North American headquarters of Hyundai, Kia and Mazda. We are also the birthplace of Broadcom and Allergan.

Orange County is home to renowned luxury-shopping mall South Coast Plaza, the country’s largest and most successful privately-held real-estate development company (The Irvine Company), the Disneyland Resorts and a vibrant tourism industry, as well as a thriving and an emerging ecosystem of start-up and growth-stage companies.

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