San Francisco Biz Times seeks commercial real estate reporter

The San Francisco commercial real estate market is among the most dynamic in the country. We need an equally dynamic reporter to cover it exhaustively, across the breadth and depth of our various platforms. We’ve had a succession of “stars” on this beat — and we’re looking for the next one.

Duties:

Own the audience. This means:
•Break news daily online;
•Blog regularly on the commercial RE market;
•Contribute to weekly print reporter page;
•Write longer-form pieces for print and special publications;
•Assemble, maintain and relentlessly grow a source network;
•Frequent, vibrant, well-followed social media posting;
•Integration of data, video and alternative forms into all storytelling;
•Execute a deeply reported, data and graphic-rich Centerpiece package every 6 to 8 weeks.

Skills:

•Superior reporting, writing, investigative and analytical skills;
•Breaking news orientation: Scoops matter. A lot;
•Multiplatform comfort and familiarity;
•Existing social media chops;
•Work collaboratively with other editorial team members.

To apply, contact James Gardner, Managing Editor, at jgardner@bizjournals.com 415-288-4955415-288-4955
