Business Reporters The Indianapolis Business Journal is on the hunt for two tal- ented reporters who can help us provide in-depth coverage of the central Indiana business communi- ty and how it intersects with politics and policy. We have two open beats—one that includes retail and restaurants and the other that includes the two fastest-growing counties in the region. But we're not married to precisely how the beats are defined now. Yes, we have to find ways to cover both of these important areas—and in fact, they are our most-read beats—but we also have flexibility to shape the jobs to fit the right candidates. As a result, we're looking for strong reporters with great attitudes who will fit into our team. All IBJ reporters write breaking stories as well as enterprise that help shape the conversation about busi- ness in the region. We are looking for reporters who can develop strong sources to scoop our competition. IBJ is an award-winning, locally owned news organization that is growing. We interpret business broad- ly. We have a newsroom of 18 report- ers, editors and artists who cover technology, real estate, banking, man- ufacturing, philanthropy, health care, government and politics. We publish a weekly printed paper and produce significant daily coverage at IBJ.com that is distributed through more than a dozen email newsletters (two of them sent daily, plus a number of specialty weekly newsletters). Job Requirements: • Experience with both breaking news and enterprise. • Ability to work independently and generate story ideas. • Experience promoting stories and reporting with social media. • Ability to shoot smart-phone images and video. • Fast, thorough writing. If you're a reporter who can uncover compelling stories, send a resume, cover letter and examples of breaking news stories and enter- prise to Editor Lesley Weidenbener at lweidenbener@ibj.com and Managing Editor Greg Weaver at gweaver@ibj.com.
