West Virginia daily seeks business reporter

The Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette-Mail seeks a business reporter.

This beat is tailored toward personalities in West Virginia’s business world. It could focus small business, entrepreneurs, nonprofits and business support groups. Although this is a features beat, it would sometimes produce straight news stories. The position should work in partnership with the Gazette-Mail’s other business beat.

This beat and our other business beat would include personnel announcements and other short business announcements. Both would contribute to business sections in print and online. The position will require some work on nights and weekends. The reporter should use social media such as Twitter or a beat blog, and may contribute some basic video of interesting events or interviews.

Candidates should send a cover letter, resume and clips to bradmc@dailymailwv.com.
