About The Position

Since 1921, Barron's has delivered the need-to-know information for all those seeking to accumulate wealth, and provided a robust understanding of what propels the markets and business community. At the forefront, Barron's is a catalyst for economic change with a powerful network of influential business leaders, financial advisors, institutional and affluent individual investors among its audience. Readers look to the publication for daily unparalleled financial information and expertise to drive results in our world and the markets. About the Role: Barron's, one of the leading financial and investing publications in the U.S., is seeking a high-energy reporter who can insightfully cover breaking business news and what it means for investors. The role is part of the Barron's rapid response news team, which eschews commodity stories in favor of delivering analysis—or an interesting angle—about the news in the timeframe readers are searching to understand news events. The reporter will have the opportunity to write longer, reported-out features and analytical pieces so some experience of this would be an advantage. Barron's values teamwork, so a collaborative approach is required.
