Baltimore Reporter, Technical.ly

The ideal candidate will excel in cultivating source relationships to consistently deliver valuable local business news, quickly and accurately. You should have experience in and a willingness to experiment with new media, as well as an interest in supporting and learning from an experienced journalistic enterprise. Plus, as a small, growing news media startup, we’re probably more fun than your traditional editorial employer. The Baltimore reporter will report directly to the Baltimore market editor and work closely with our distributed newsroom, which is active daily via Slack. We additionally find regular opportunities to work together in person across our markets. We aim to publish at least three new items per day on each market’s individual sections of the Technical.ly website, four days per week. The reporter in this role should expect to contribute two of those daily, including a mix of reported features, recurring columns and short-form posts emphasizing new and breaking news. Our editors also solicit guest posts and freelance contributions, as well as publish nationally relevant stories across all of our markets daily. There will be regular collaboration and daily coordination with editors and fellow reporters. This role will operate remotely, but if you’d like, we can place you in a local coworking space. We come together as an entire team quarterly, when public health allows, and do so largely in Philadelphia, where much of the company’s leadership is based. The person in this role is expected to spend roughly 90% of their time reporting in and around Baltimore, and 10% doing supplementary tasks like supporting strategy, social media engagement and administrative work.
