Capital B Gary is on the lookout for a Business and Economic Development Reporter to join our talented team.
We want a motivated reporter interested in Gary’s economic landscape, someone passionate about exploring the city’s revitalization efforts, business growth, and the repercussions of decades of financial hardship.
This beat is not just about covering news; it’s about uncovering the stories of transformation and resilience within distressed infrastructure and neighborhoods, assessing Gary’s financial standing and job prospects, and highlighting the city’s entrepreneurs and business owners.
We will work closely with the chosen candidate to develop a tailored coverage plan that aligns with their interests and expertise, and our audience’s needs. The role requires a collaborative spirit and a commitment to community engagement, in which Gary residents dictate beat coverage.
By the way: We’re paying $60,000–$72,000, to go along with an excellent benefits package that includes health care and 20 weeks of paid parental leave — and a supportive workplace that embraces experimentation and continuous learning. For more information and to apply, read the official job posting here.
