Palm Beach Post is looking for a reporter to cover consumer issues and business topics

The Palm Beach Post is on the hunt for a talented consumer issues/business reporter to join their team. The ideal candidate will be tasked with identifying trends and hot topics that resonate with readers and help grow the publication’s audience.

With Florida facing an insurance crisis, rising energy costs, and inflation squeezing budgets, the new reporter will have plenty of material to cover. The focus will be on consumer issues that impact the lives of Floridians, with a particular emphasis on Palm Beach County. However, the stories produced will often have statewide implications.

The reporter will delve into topics such as Florida Power & Light’s pricing changes, solar power and electric vehicle strategies, and natural gas production. They will also investigate why the insurance market is pricing residents out of living in Florida and report on the economic struggles faced by a diverse group of people in the region.

In addition to consumer issues, the reporter will cover jobs and the economy in Palm Beach County, exploring topics such as unemployment rates and workforce shortages. They will also provide utility-saving tips and financial advice to help readers live their best lives.

This position offers the opportunity for statewide reach, with stories potentially being picked up by USA Today and other national publications. If you’re passionate about consumer issues and business reporting, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. To apply, visit the Palm Beach Post’s website.
