Crain's Detroit Business is looking for experienced reporters who can write analytical, multisourced business news stories, features and special reports as an independent contractor. All assignments will be specific to metro Detroit or Michigan and require local sources.
Some experience in business reporting is helpful, but freelancers who believe that sufficient reporting is the basis of good writing could be good fits.
Freelance writers must be adept at interviewing and writing clearly. Meeting deadlines is required. Responsibilities will vary based on the story assignment, but may include:
· Comfort with everyday financial numbers, such as revenue, net income and percentages.
· In-person interviews or research, although some stories can be done by phone.
· Locating additional sources to those provided by the assigning editor.
Requirements:
· 3-5 years of reporting experience with experience or an interest in business news
This is a non-benefited, freelance opportunity. Compensation will vary based on the nature of the freelance assignment, but is competitive.
Please include resume, cover letter and minimum of three recent clips for consideration.
