The Portland Business Journal is looking for a reporter who can own coverage of issues related to manufacturing and sustainability in Oregon and southwest Washington, including clean energy, natural resources and agriculture.
This reporter must generate daily news stories for digital newsletters, curate content for a twice-weekly sustainability newsletter and contribute to our weekly print edition. Print contributions include a weekly reporter page, cover stories and other standing features.
Duties: While the Business Journal publishes a weekly print edition, we are very much a daily news operation. This reporter must own the beat and become the go-to source in the region for news, data and perspective. The top mission: to own audience, by every measure in print, digital and social.
To accomplish this, this reporter must be aggressive and competitive. He or she must be able to build and maintain deep source networks that enable him or her to break news and follow up with analysis and fresh story angles. Scoops matter. A lot. So does the confidence to interpret news with authority.
The reporter must also be capable and comfortable delivering news across multiple platforms. Social media competency is a must.
To this end, reporters are expected to break important hard news online and use print to tell the story behind the headlines, providing deeper analysis of newsworthy events. Whatever the platform, we strive to produce content – original and curated – that is accompanied by perspective and context.
