This position will be Hybrid in the office/market 3 days per week, and those days can be flexible in consultation with your manager.
A reporter for Pacific Business news must be competitive, nimble and driven to break news about the most important industries, companies and people in Hawaii. Our reporters are expected to write and report short-form and long-form stories for the website each day and for the weekly print edition. It requires a versatile, hungry self-starter with a passion for news and journalism who can provide forward-looking business intelligence to savvy readers who will use it to grow their businesses and/or advance their careers. Our content gives them a leg up on their competitors, connects them with decision-makers and delineates growth strategies that work from those that don't. This usually entails working our source networks and digging up news before it's announced or readily available.
The ideal candidate will blend traditional journalism skills — source building, sharp news judgment, interviewing prowess and scoop-driven reporting — with online and social media know-how. Reporters in our newsroom don't just turn in copy. They include photos, slideshows and other multimedia components that advance the story and further engage our audience. They break hard news that sometimes sources don't want brought to light, but they don't burn bridges.
The position follows a partially hybrid schedule, with in-office work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays offer flexibility to work remotely, if preferred. Please note that, depending on business needs, additional in-office days may occasionally be required. The role also includes being available to attend evening business events as needed.
