Media and Advertising Reporter

TCR's mission is to take the highest standards for independent journalism across the board and apply those standards to focused reporting on the business of animal health, veterinary medicine and the pet industry. We seek truth, and follow the facts. Our business strategy and revenue model is subscription-based by design. No legitimate journalism business in history has been able to succeed without substantial subscription revenue because journalism at its core is about providing a service to readers and can't be beholden to the people and institutions we cover.

Want to join our growing team of journalists?

TCR recently announced several key hires to meet the increased demand for our journalism. We're now in the midst of a redesign, having recently hired a Chief Product Officer who spent several years leading The WSJ's digital design team. While we are mired in that important reboot, we're more focused than ever on hiring exceptionally qualified journalists for the team of talent we are building.

TCR is seeking dedicated journalists with strong English writing skills and who already have a foundation in reporting mechanics.

Candidates should provide TCR with several PUBLISHED news clips showing us your ability to get information from people who don't want to give it to you. Show us HIGH-IMPACT stories.

To apply, please upload a CV, cover letter, and at least 3 published news clips to Stasha Healy stasha@thecaninereview.com and upload as one single PDF or DOC file. Applicants who cannot follow these instructions will not be considered.
