San Jose paper seeks Apple reporter

The Bay Area News Group, which includes the San Jose Mercury News, the Contra Costa Times and the Oakland Tribune, is seeking an experienced business reporter to cover Apple, one of our most important beats.

As the hometown paper of Silicon Valley, we cover Apple as both a global phenomenon and a local company, and we need a journalist who can report on the company at both levels.

Apple produces lots of news, of course, and it is a competitive beat, but we also expect the beat reporter to produce strong enterprise on one of the most closely followed companies on the planet.

This is a tremendous opportunity for the right reporter, especially at this time as Apple prepares its landmark campus in Cupertino.

Interested? Send your resume and a half dozen clips to Stephen R. Trousdale, Business Editor, Bay Area News Group, strousdale@bayareanewsgroup.com
