The posting

The Post and Courier, South Carolina's premier news source, is seeking an idea-driven, energetic reporter to cover our retail beat and other news on our Trending team.

The position is based in Charleston. You are a strong candidate if you know how to break news on your beat, can write with flair and bring urgency to in-the-moment news, along with creative know-how to develop smart, quick-turn enterprise angles from your beat.

The retail sector is one of our most valued coverage areas. This reporter must be able to set the agenda to produce exclusives about new retail businesses coming to Charleston or existing businesses that are evolving, expanding or closing. You must be a visible, go-to source for readers of this high-interest content, while also contributing as needed to other general business news.

The retail reporter not only works closely with the Trending and Business teams but also is closely aligned with reporters who cover other aspects of growth and development in fast-growing Charleston.

The Post and Courier is an independent, family-owned newspaper that values its relationship with readers, believing in the idea that investing in journalism will lead to more readers and a sustainable business. We have built out newsrooms throughout the state, seeking to fill a void in news deserts and areas where local news coverage has dramatically shrunk.

If you are the right fit for this role, you will join a Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom where reporters have the opportunity to do some of the best work of their careers, limited only by their ambition and curiosity.

Responsibilities

  • Produce story ideas for your assigned beat.
  • Write solidly researched stories that are clear, engaging and concise.
  • Produce work that is accurate in fact, tone and implication. And have an understanding of libel law and the rules governing plagiarism.
  • Effectively learn and use all job technology and systems.
  • Learn and follow all department and company policies and procedures.
  • Meet all assigned deadlines.
  • Develop a list of knowledgeable, diverse sources.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications or English preferred.
  • Experience in writing for a news organization.
  • Flexibility to occasionally adjust hours to cover breaking news or weekend and evening events.
  • Valid driver's license, good driving record, reliable and insured vehicle.
  • Reliable access to internet service.

Knowledge, skills and abilities

  • Strong writing and editing skills.
  • Strong social media skills.
  • Strong written and oral communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to break news and react quickly to breaking stories.
  • Ability to prioritize workload and self-manage projects, handle multiple tasks and meet strict deadlines.
  • Knowledge of the community and surrounding cities a plus.
  • Ability to adapt to a fast-paced, ever-evolving industry and workplace.
  • Strong, professional work ethic.
  • Ability to work independently remotely, if necessary.

Physical requirements, work environment and travel

  • Regularly required to sit for long periods of time; close eye work on computer screen; required to stand, walk, reach with hands and arms, bend and stoop; light to moderate lifting 15-30 pounds.
  • The worker is frequently subject to inside environmental conditions, which provide protection from weather conditions but not necessarily from temperature changes, and is sometimes subject to adverse outside environmental conditions.
  • Local travel is required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
