Do you love digging up facts, then writing a story that demands to be read?

Do you end up on the front page because of how well you report and write your stories?

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, located in the center of the Natural State, is looking for reporters who can skillfully cover breaking news on deadline as well as craft non-deadline must-reads.

We want a self-starter who wants to land on the front page, whether with a single byline or as part of a team.

We're looking for someone who:
-- Aggressively pursues deadline and non-deadline stories.
-- Is eager to get out of the office and find stories.
-- Can mine public records and computerized data for deep-impact stories that affect real people.
-- Never settles for “good enough.”
-- Strives to serve the reader first.

We are based in Little Rock, the Arkansas capital, but cover the entire state and, if the story warrants, we go beyond Arkansas' borders. We take pride in the journalism we practice and are looking for people who want to hone their skills.

The Reporter will cover a wide range of personal finance topics for Money.com, a fast-growing personal finance site that launched last June and is the digital arm of Money magazine. The reporter will pitch, report, and write stories for the web that help people understand what’s happening in the economy, markets, and business world; how it will affect their finances in the short- and long-term; and what they can and should do about it. Outstanding research and writing skills are required.

You Will:

Spend approximately half your time contributing to a joint Time/Money/Fortune high-volume, fast-paced money/personal finance/business publishing desk, with focus on areas of interest to the Money audience

You Are:

A Multitasker: People who’ve worked with you before would say you have grace under pressure. You’re used to managing multiple projects and deadlines while still being precise.
An Ideas Person: You are naturally creative and enjoy brainstorming. When you look at a story in the headlines, you can see 10 more angles to cover in it. You also think bigger: Packages, franchises, partnerships and more.
A Dogged Reporter: You’re eager to sink your teeth into a beat, develop sources, and ply those sources for unique stories that haven’t been covered before or new angles on old stories. You’re a natural skeptic, who’s always thinking,

“What’s this person’s agenda?"

Passionate about Money's Personal Finance Focus: You intuitively understand the deeply emotional side of personal finance issues ranging from spending and retirement planning to debt and college savings.
