We are an ambitious news organization with high standards, and we need a self-motivated reporter who can do it all – from dailies and compelling narratives to investigations and data-driven journalism. We want enterprise reporting – serious, probing enterprise journalism that identifies trends, unearths important news, exposes wrongdoing and spotlights achievements. We want watchdog journalism, and we want storytelling.
This is an intense beat. You have to stay on top of business data, reports and trends, and develop sources in your coverage area so that you break news ahead of the competition.
Successful candidates will have several years of daily experience and be able to submit clips that demonstrate proficiency working with public records requests, 990s, incorporation papers and other documents. We need a reporter who is aggressive but not arrogant, who is confident but works collaboratively with editors and peers. You must be adept at working with data and comfortable in a digital-first environment.
If you are the best at what you do and share our passion for ambitious journalism, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. You will be part of Maine’s finest and largest newsgathering operation, and you’ll live in a region with an extraordinarily high quality of life. Send your resume and five examples of your best work to Executive Editor Steve Greenlee at sgreenlee@pressherald.com.
