This position will be Hybrid in the office/market 3 days per week, and those days can be flexible in consultation with your manager.
If you're driven to break news and spark conversation in the market — and have experience doing it — this is the right position at the right moment. The real estate and development reporter will cover new projects, incentives and the players involved. Kansas City is in the midst of a growth surge and ready to benefit from international exposure gained as a World Cup host city. Plans for a new downtown ballpark also will affect nearly every part of town and corner of the development business.
Our reporters must be competitive, nimble and driven to break news. They are expected to provide forward-looking business intelligence to savvy readers who will use it to grow their businesses and/or advance their careers. This 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. Our reporters don't just turn in copy. They include videos, slideshows and other multimedia components that advance the story and further engage our audience.
