San Francisco Business Times seeks real estate reporter

Are you the next star commercial real estate reporter for the San Francisco Business Times?

We’re seeking a experienced, scoop-driven, barking hard news animal of a reporter to continue our long-term ownership of the commercial real estate beat. You’ll provide a steady diet of exclusive breaking news for our online daily edition, and longer-form stories for our weekly print product and special publications in perhaps the most vibrant real estate market in the country: San Francisco.

You’ll build on our history as the go-to source of news, data and perspective on San Francisco’s commercial real estate scene. Your top mission is to own and grow the audience, by every measure. To do so, you’ll need strong traditional journalism skills — source-building, networking, interviewing, reporting and writing.

You’ll also have some serious online and social media chops, familiar and comfortable with using photos, video, data and alternative forms to tell the story, and knowledgeable about how to promote it to the largest possible audience. You’ll be a conscientious curator of other information your audience will find useful.

Please apply with a cover letter, resume, 3-5 clips and 3 references to Jim Gardner, Managing Editor, jgardner@bizjournals.com. No phone calls, please.
