If you’re not allergic to palm trees, keep reading.
If you dream of wearing flip-flops in January, refresh your resume.
If you love the Pulitzers – Joseph AND Lilly – we’re listening.
We need a journalist to own the tourism/retail beat in a place with so many “best of” rankings that locals lose count (but you won’t).
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune is seeking a journalist to cover this intriguing business beat in a growing, complex market. The successful candidate will be a self-starter, a social-media maven, a digital star and a gifted storyteller. (Yes, we want it all.)
You’ll strive to have bylines appear from the front page to the business section. You’ll pitch major projects (and get to do them). You’ll obsessively check to see how long it takes competitors to report what you’ve already posted.
You’ll get jazzed about doing things differently.
You’ll love that great journalism still matters here.
Here’s what else you need to know about the Herald-Tribune and Sarasota, FL.
We’ve won a Pulitzer and been a finalist two other times.
We’re among Editor and Publisher’s “10 Newspapers That Do It Right”
We have a talented, innovative staff.
Oh, one other detail. The average low temperature is 52 degrees in January. (You’ll sweat a lot in August, but did we mention our beaches?)
If you dislike attention, apply elsewhere.
If you’re good enough to be on our winning team, send a 200-word cover letter and link to your online resume to bill.church@heraldtribune.com. Or contact us via Twitter @BillChurchMedia.
