Media Reporters, Business

The Messenger is building a team of media reporters, with a mix of experience, sourcing and skills. The ideal candidates will have sources inside the biggest broadcast, digital and print publications as well as at their biggest advertisers. You’ll have sources at both high, and low, levels at the biggest national news outlets. You’ll have your pulse on who’s doing what in media and entertainment and will be able to spot trends in the industry, know what’s cooking on M&A and can cut through company jargon, embargoes, press releases and SEC filings to find the most important news of the day.

We are looking for reporters with at least 3 years of experience covering media or a related beat at a real-time or digital news outlet. Ideally, they will have a proven track record of breaking news, working with anonymous sources as well as writing features. They will have sources inside the companies, labor unions as well as competitors, advertisers and on Wall Street. They will be equally adept at writing breaking news as well as longer enterprise stories.
