Central New York is on the brink of a historic economic era, and you could help document it for our audience.
Syracuse.com and The Post-Standard are looking for a smart, motivated reporter to help us cover businesses, the local economy and their impact on people here.
Micron Technology plans to build a $100 billion chip-making plant here that holds the promise of an economic surge and, for us, the obligation to be a watchdog. There’s a burgeoning innovation economy here. But there’s a troubling high rate of poverty, and it remains to be seen if everyone will share in any growth.
We’re looking for a reporter who wants to break news and explain economic forces. We seek someone who can celebrate successes and hold our institutions accountable. This isn’t a Chamber of Commerce beat; we want strong enterprise.
A winning candidate should show an aptitude for source development, clear and engaging storytelling in all formats, hard-nosed document reporting, collaboration and a sense of humor. You should have at least two to three years of relevant experience.
The base salary range for this position is $55,000 to $70,000 per year.
This is not a remote job. This is a chance to join a growing, award-winning newsroom where accomplished journalists work together to have an impact on this town. That’s our culture.
If you can show us a record of that kind of work, help us write the history of this bold move to remake the prosperity of the Syracuse area.
