Providence Business News seeks banking 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, with an emphasis on the financial services sector.

This high-profile beat will be the core of the writer’s responsibilities, but it will not be the only one. From entrepreneurship to manufacturing to health care to government regulation to tourism to technology, Providence and the surrounding region provide an endless variety of stories, and this staff writer will touch on them all at some point.

PBN breaks news, but we also give the business community a smart take on what is happening. We would prefer a background in covering financial services, 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. Send resume and writing samples to Mark Murphy, editor, Providence Business News, 400 Westminster St., Suite 600, Providence, R.I. 02903. You may e-mail material to editor@pbn.com. No phone calls.
