Pittsburgh Tribune-Review seeks business reporter

The Tribune-Review in Pittsburgh seeks a general assignment business reporter to deliver sophisticated coverage of the region’s diverse mix of industries.

We’re looking for a seasoned reporter who is able to break news and produce compelling daily coverage, enterprise and analysis. The ideal candidate should be eager to write about local business, as well as produce distinctive coverage of national and global issues with implications for our region.

Natural gas drilling and a fast-growing technology sector are important parts of the region’s economy and the successful candidate will have significant responsibility for those areas. Applicants should have experience covering technology companies and consumer electronics or an energy beat, especially natural gas drilling and related issues.

They should have at least five years of business reporting experience and a history of enterprise and watchdog coverage. A sense of competition is important in this two-newspaper city. An understanding of social media and experience in digital storytelling is a plus.

The newspaper is based on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, between PNC Park and Heinz Field.
