Scranton Times-Tribune seeks business reporter

The Times-Tribune, an award-winning daily newspaper in Scranton, Pennsylvania, has an immediate opening for a business reporter who will thrive creating breaking news and enterprise stories for our business section.

The ideal candidate will be an experienced journalist with several years’ beat experience and interest in business, banking and finance. He or she must have high standards, sophisticated insight into public and business affairs, a fluid writing style, tough reporting skills – and the clips to show it.

The Times-Tribune, a family-owned daily newspaper, has a strong focus on digital so the business reporter will need to understand the basics and importance of the Web in breaking news.

Interested candidates should send a letter, resume and five clips that display the ability to understand and relate complex financial and legal stories to a general readership. Please send materials to Larry Holeva, Executive Editor, The Times-Tribune, 149 Penn Ave., Scranton, PA 18503 or email lholeva@timesshamrock.com.
