Providence Business News seeks researcher/writer

Providence Business News, Southern New England’s leading business publication, is looking for an energetic, detail-oriented researcher/writer to oversee our Top Lists feature, published in the weekly edition, special reports and our yearly Book of Lists.

In addition, this position calls for collecting, editing and writing short items for PBN’s print and online reports, including front-of-book features, and news about people, real estate, charity events and our weekly nonprofit/philanthropy event calendar.

This is an entry-level position, with the opportunity to grow as a journalist, but writing skill is required. A background in business news is not needed (although it is appreciated), but good interviewing skills and pleasant phone manner are.

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

Send resume and writing samples to Mike Mello, 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.
