Business Reporter

The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram seeks an outstanding journalist to cover business news. The top candidate for this position will have a distinguished record of using public documents, data and compelling interviews to break news, reveal truths, hold the powerful accountable and help readers understand complicated situations. We are an ambitious news organization with high standards, and we need a self-motivated reporter who can do it all – from dailies and compelling narratives to investigations and data-driven journalism. We want enterprise reporting – serious, probing enterprise journalism that identifies trends, unearths important news, exposes wrongdoing and spotlights achievements. We want watchdog journalism, and we want storytelling. This is an intense beat. You have to stay on top of business data, reports and trends, and develop sources in your coverage area so that you break news ahead of the competition. But we don’t just want a steady diet of business dailies. We need serious, probing enterprise journalism that rises to Sunday A1 and the top of our home page.
