The Quad-Cities, a cluster of riverfront cities in Iowa and Illinois with a metro area of about 475,000, is home to about 3,000 diverse employers, including the world headquarters of Fortune 500 Deere & Co., media company Lee Enterprises, a U.S. Army base, aerospace company Arconic, and Genesis Health Systems, a top Iowa-based healthcare provider. A number of mid-sized businesses, Mom & Pops, and Black and Hispanic businesses thrive on both sides of the river as well.
The ideal candidate can network and build a beat to find scoops and stories from the business community and the intersection of business and government, including breaking news, daily reporting and enterprise-focused pieces based on trends and analytics. This position is also the lead reporter for Quad-City Times Insight Magazine, a high-gloss quarterly business journal for CEOs.
The best candidates will be proven producers, with previous newsroom experience covering a business-related beat, though candidates with strong clips from other beats will be considered.
We’re a digital-first newsroom in a competitive media market, so live video and digital reporting skills are a must. So are a curious mind, clean writing style and an understanding of economics and commerce.
The Quad-Cities is a fun place to live and work, with many of the amenities of a big city – pro sports, big-name concerts, food and culture – without the traffic and high cost of living.
