West Virginia daily seeks a business reporter

The Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette-Mail seeks a smart, skilled reporter to deliver excellence in journalism covering business for the state’s newspaper in the state’s capital city.

We are not looking for people who’ve always wanted to give journalism a try. We are looking for a journalist dedicated to the craft, who knows how to report a story and turn it, on time, air-tight and crisply written. We want a serious journalist who knows how to find stories, is relentlessly curious, passionate about the vocation and driven to excel.

If you have no journalism training and never have written for a newspaper, either professionally or in college, please do not waste our time or yours. If this description matches you and you want to be part of a newsroom with a Pulitzer Prize-winning history, email Lee Wolverton, HD Media vice president of news and executive editor, at lwolverton@hdmediallc.com.

Include a cover letter and three samples of your best work. The subject line should read: Business Reporter. Hint: Following directions is the first step in being considered for the job.
