Business and Enterprise Reporter

The Journal Star in Peoria, Illinois, is looking for a reporter to join our talented and experienced team. We're open to hiring a veteran reporter, someone with a few years of experience or somebody looking for their first professional job. We're seeking someone who works efficiently, knows how to multitask and understands readers are our priority. Our audience craves daily news and deeper enterprise at pjstar.com. We take pride in having reporters who routinely deliver both. We value versatility and the ability to write on an array of topics. We need someone who will help us stand out from our competition with a steady stream of unique, compelling and thoughtful stories. We're searching for someone who interacts with the public and promotes their work and our brand on social media. The ideal reporter can find stories in multiple ways: driving around town and noticing something has changed; scanning social media to bring facts and context to a hot community topic; or noticing a national trend that applies to Peoria.
