Post and Courier seeks a business reporter

The Post and Courier is looking for a business reporter to cover the fastest growing economy in the Southeast. This reporter will focus on technology, employment, and take general assignment and enterprise stories as they arise.

There are opportunities in this Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom to do some of the best work of your career, limited only by your ambition and curiosity. Post and Courier business reporters have gone on to work at the Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones and Bloomberg News.

The Post and Courier is a locally owned newspaper, investing in its newsroom and expanding statewide at a time when others are contracting.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter, a team collaborator and communicator – especially needed in this remote work environment – and a critical thinker. We’re looking for a reporter who is interested in how the business world operates, someone who enjoys connecting the dots of how projects and moves fit into the bigger economic picture. We are looking for a strong writer, able to translate complicated concepts into engaging stories.

Charleston is an international city that offers an incredible quality of life, named No. 1 city in the nation and No. 2 in the world by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Enjoy a thriving food and arts scene, surrounded by history and a natural environment that offers boundless outdoor recreation opportunities.

Send your resume, five examples of your best work and a cover letter with ideas on how you would cover this beat to Business Editor John McDermott at jmcdermott@postandcourier.com. The Post and Courier is an equal opportunity, drug-free workplace.

The Post and Courier is committed to building a diverse newsroom that reflects the people it covers and the audience it serves. Candidates are encouraged to highlight new perspectives they can bring to our team.
