Tech Industry Reporter

The Tech Industry Reporter for the Silicon Valley Business Journal will be covering the dominant sector in one of the nation's top business markets. But this reporter won't be dogging the same stories as everyone else or if they are, they won't be covering it in the same way.

Reporters for the SVBJ must be competitive, nimble and driven to break news about the most important industries, companies and people in the region. That means taking a story about a big company known around the nation or the world, and finding the angle that matters to a Silicon Valley audience.

Reporters are expected to provide forward-looking business intelligence to savvy readers who will use it to grow their businesses and/or advance their careers. Our content gives them a leg up on their competitors, connects them with decision-makers and delineates growth strategies that work from those that don't. This usually entails working our source networks and digging up news before it's announced or readily available.

The ideal candidate will blend traditional journalism skills - source building, sharp news judgment, interviewing prowess and scoop-driven reporting - with online and social media know-how. Reporters in our newsroom don't just turn in copy. They include videos, slideshows and other multimedia components that advance the story and further engage our audience. They break hard news that sometimes sources don't want brought to light, but they don't burn bridges.
