WSJ seeks Midwest reporter

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a versatile, experienced reporter to cover the Heartland — a vast range of territory including big cities like Chicago and Detroit, rural stretches from Arkansas to the Dakotas and rust-belt states bent on reinvention from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin.

Based in Chicago, the reporter would be expected to jump on breaking news, travel the back roads for colorful yarns and dig deep into emerging trends in state government policy and finance — finding the decision-makers shaping them and the regular folks affected by them.

The ideal candidate will have at least five years at a major daily; experience with digital media engagement and data reporting and other investigative tools strongly encouraged.

Please include a resume, cover letter and up to five published clips with the online application.
