The Times-Tribune is a family owned newspaper in Scranton, Pa., two hours west of New York City and two hours north of Philadelphia. The 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.
