5 media outlets that are hiring journalists

The journalism job market invariably seems bad. It's much more common to hear about media companies laying off employees than to hear about companies looking to hire. But below are five media outlets that are hiring right now -- and some have entry level reporter openings.

1. Bloomberg: As the cover story of this month's American Journalism Review notes about the business news organization, "Bloomberg is spending, hiring, opening new outposts, launching fresh enterprises and raising the stakes."

2. Patch.com: While AOL recently made large cuts to its editorial staff, it's still hiring for Patch.com, its new chain of hyperlocal news sites. Young journalists are often hired to oversee a news site for a particular community. It's hard work, but you'll get to do it all -- write your own stories, set the news agenda, hire freelancers, edit stories, shoot video, take photos, tweet and more. More than 70 editorial positions are available at the moment.

3. Politico: Although it was founded in 2007, the multimedia political journalism organization is already profitable, its editor recently told Columbia Journalism Review. And it's expanding. In February, the Washington, D.C.-based company launched Politico Pro, "a subscription service providing highly detailed, rapid-fire reporting on the politics of energy, technology and health care." Click here to see Politico's current job openings.

4. Business Insider: The New York City-based business website launched in 2009 and receives 6.3 million unique monthly visitors. According to its website, "Business Insider has a bunch of openings right now. We are growing rapidly and offer a dynamic environment where you can learn fast and help shape the future of the company. We also offer a competitive salary and excellent benefits."

5. CNN: The 24-hour cable news station posted about dozens of job openings and paid internships on its careers page in March. Click here to view the latest opportunities.

The ideal candidate is web savvy and knows how to write, edit, package and find smart, cutting-edge content on strategy, management, leadership, marketing and entrepreneurship for our readers who work in today's business world. The editor would be spending a large part of the day writing, and would also manage a roster of freelancers and full-time interns working for the vertical. Among other talents, this editor should be able to write great headlines, put together catchy features, and help build our already robust stable of contributors and content sharing partners which include Inc., Entrepreneur, HBR, and the Daily Beast. You should have at least two years of experience writing and/or editing at a magazine or online publication, and you should be passionate about and up to speed on the subject matter.

Lifestyle Editor: Business Insider is expanding, and to do so, we're hiring an editor to head up our new "Lifestyle" section, which is launching soon. The vertical will provide coverage on everything luxury-related, including how to spend your money on real estate, cars, travel, art and entertainment. The ideal candidate has an affinity for the high-end lifestyle and 1-2 years of experience covering that space at an online publication or magazine. The job consists of writing, editing, and aggregating content from established luxury sources with which this candidate should be extremely familiar. An understanding of how the web works is crucial.

Politics Editor: We're hiring a sharp and eager writer to join Business Insider's newest vertical -- Politix. The section, edited by former NBC News and FOX News analyst John Ellis, will focus on the intersection of politics, money, and business. Specific areas of coverage will include: The growing crisis in national and municipal finance; the shifting balance of economic and military power in the world, and what it means for business; and the power-struggle in federal and local governments as politicians try to find a way out of our fiscal crisis. The ideal candidate has 1-2 years of experience writing about politics for an online publication, and is a voracious consumer of political news everywhere on the Internet.

Sports Editor: We're also hiring a Sports Editor to join Dash Bennett (formerly of Deadspin) on one of our newest verticals, Sports Page. This person would be spending most of their time writing -- everything from features to short takes on the day's news. The ideal candidate is a sports fanatic and obsessive consumer of sports news, but can also see the business angle in every sports story. You should know how the web works, and understand what makes a great headline, slideshow and piece of analysis. At least one year of experience writing about sports online helps, as does a familiarity with the tone and pace of Sports Page.
