Providence Business News seeks a reporter

Providence Business News, Southern New England’s leading business publication, is looking for an enterprising, energetic reporter to help cover one of the nation’s most diverse business communities. From finance to manufacturing to health care to politics to tourism to technology, Providence and the surrounding region provide an endless variety of stories.

PBN breaks news, but we also give the business community a smart take on what is happening, most often through our in-depth cover stories, which all reporters get a chance to produce. We inform our readers through multiple channels, from a weekly print edition, digital reporting, regular community-based panel discussions and other emerging technologies.

We would prefer a business reporting background, but it is more important to demonstrate an interest in learning and a talent for clear communication.

PBN is locally owned, meaning we care about this community; it is where we live.
