Providence Business News seeks copy editor

Providence Business News is in search of a copy editor who wants to be part of a high-performing team.

From multiple daily breaking news stories to e-newsletters to the weekly print edition, Southern New England’s premier business news organization paints a compelling picture of the comings, goings, happenings and perspectives of a business community thirsty for the insights we provide.

We report on companies, on their leaders, on trends and on how government can lead to success — or failure — of the region’s for-profit and nonprofit enterprises.

Our copy editor is an essential part of the effort, with a hand in every aspect of the news report. We expect a self-starting personality, with a collegial approach.

And always, a eye for detail and accuracy. A business background is preferred but not required.

Send resume and example of your work to Mark S. Murphy, editor. Email materials to editor@pbn.com. No phone calls.
