Worcester Business Journal seeks reporter

The Worcester Business Journal seeks an intelligent, versatile reporter who will own several industry beats in Central Massachusetts and contribute significantly to our print and online media.

This is an ideal opportunity for a New England-based reporter looking to learn the ropes on how to write for a specific audience, understand business journalism and know all facets of a media organization carving out its niche in a busy market and redefining the roles of print and digital journalism.

Candidates must be able to understand how top business decision makers think; quick enough to write a web-only article in 10-15 minutes; and thoughtful enough to pen a 1,500-word feature that relates directly to our audience. Desired skills include computer-assisted reporting, previous business writing experience and multimedia knowledge. Knowledge of the Central Massachusetts market is a significant plus.

We offer a highly competitive salary and benefits package and the opportunity to be part of a multi-location media company that promotes from within. We do not offer relocation expenses.

Please send a resume, cover letter and links to your five best articles to WBJ Editor Brad Kane at bkane@wbjournal.com.
