Orange County Business Journal seeks reporters

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

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 stories for a savvy business audience; we serve a readership that includes business owners, senior executives, and the most influential businesspeople in our community.

The full-time position requires reporters who can juggle multiple tasks, including writing news-driven articles and longer features for our weekly paper.

A sophisticated understanding of business – including a working knowledge of financial statements – is a must. Editing experience is a plus.

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 are not digital First, we are print First.

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.

Our coverage area includes a roster of top consumer brands that are based in Orange County – Vizio and Blizzard Entertainment; North American operations of Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda; Taco Bell, Chipotle, and In-N-Out Burger, along with numerous household names in the apparel and cosmetics industries. Major corporate players include Pimco and Pacific Life, and OC is the birthplace of Broadcom & Allergan.

To apply, go here.
