Senior Reporter

The Dallas Business Journal is looking for a senior reporter to cover real estate in one of the hottest markets in the country. This position requires building and maintaining strong source networks to uncover deals before anyone else and the comprehensive impact of new projects. You will help our subscribers understand the developments that impact Dallas County the most and introduce them to its major investors and developers — and how their new projects shape our cities.

Commercial and residential development continues to swell as companies and people flood the region from the coasts and Midwest. Reporting to our Assistant Managing Editor, you’ll break news daily as part of our dedicated real estate team that covers Dallas-Fort Worth economic development. You also will have time to commit to longform and investigative journalism. Our readers want the story behind someone’s success, what they’ve learned and what lies ahead.

You must be a vigilant networker and relationship manager to deliver source-driven scoops. Our best stories come from people, not press releases. You will break news that sources don't always want to be brought to light. As such, you must be able to determine whether a news item merits a brief, a story, an in-depth investigation — or no coverage at all. In return, you'll receive a competitive salary, a substantial benefits package, and the opportunity to advance your career. We employ a hybrid setup that includes two work-from-home days. And, unlike other publications in Dallas-Fort Worth, the Business Journal doesn’t charge our journalists to park in the garage at our new office in Uptown.

When applying, include your resume and a mix of clips demonstrating your knack for breaking news and unearthing deeper trends.

Recent college graduates won't be considered for this vacancy.
