The Orlando Business Journal is looking for an ambitious and digitally savvy reporter who will thrive in our breaking news culture.
We’re looking for someone who can follow the money, tell great stories and be entrepreneurial on the beat. We want a reporter who sources relentlessly, wants scoops, gets exclusives and can tell readers what it means on all of our platforms: Web, social media, video and print.
This person will have the chops to quickly establish themselves as a go-to source for business news on their assigned beats, own those beats and become an expert in them. They must own their audience, by every measure. They’ll marry traditional reporting techniques with digital and social media news gathering and publishing. They’ll contribute multiple daily stories on their beat and long-form pieces for the weekly edition. They’ll need to have the ability to identify companies and business leaders who are or will become news makers.
Other skills needed: Exceptional source development and news judgment; ability to work under deadline pressure and prioritize tasks appropriately; polished business writing; demonstrated experience breaking news online; ability to work independently and remotely; strong analytical and investigative abilities; demonstrated success using social media as a news gathering tool.
Minimum two years journalism experience with proven ability to write and report. Recent graduates must have had strong internship experience to be considered.
If you’re interested in being considered for this position, please email a resume and clips to editor Cindy Barth at cbarth@bizjournals.com.
