Wichita Biz Journal seeks reporter

The Wichita Business Journal is seeking a reporter who is able to marry strong traditional journalism skills with online and social media know-how. Whatever the platform, reporters in our shop produce content – original and curated – that is accompanied by perspective and context.

Primary Responsibilities: Own the beat audience. Own the beat conversation. Build source network relentlessly. Contribute three to five online posts per day. Contribute one people and one enterprise story to the weekly print paper. Develop and curate a reporter page in the print paper each week, comprised of information, highlights and data gathered and reported on throughout the week. Meet or exceed goals relating to audience-engagement.

Wichita is an entrepreneurial city with great stories to tell and interesting companies to cover, and the Wichita Business Journal is an award-winning shop.

Contact Editor Bill Roy at 316-266-6184 or broy@bizjournals.com.
