Job Description

Description :

WTWH Media Healthcare seeks a motivated, experienced business reporter to cover home-based care news and developments for Home Health Care News (HHCN) , the leading source of news, insights and analysis for industry executives. The decentralization of care with a focus on the home is one of the biggest trends in U.S. health care. You’ll monitor the beat, cultivate key relationships, chase stories and collaborate with your team. HHCN is read by the top decision-makers at publicly traded and privately held companies delivering home-based care services. Readers also include industry investors, payers, health system leaders, technology partners and other stakeholders.

The perfect candidate for this role is somebody who enjoys hunting for stories, networking with sources, breaking news and writing exclusive, enterprising deep dives. Working within the HHCN team, you will help shape our coverage in the areas of Medicare-certified home health care, private-pay home care, Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS), hospital-at-home models and everything else pertaining to health care’s shift into the home.

In addition to writing news and enterprising stories, you’ll play an important role in the development of HHCN’s podcast and in-person events, including FUTURE and the Capital+Strategy Conference. The reporter will occasionally (~once a quarter) work with colleagues in different WTWH departments on sponsored articles, white papers and other custom content.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need to be organized, creative and self-driven. You’ll need to be comfortable with deadlines and have a track record for filing clean copy. You’ll need to maintain an ever-curious mindset, asking all the right questions that help you become an expert in our space.

Perks of this job include the ability to work remotely. The job includes low to moderate levels of travel in the form of 1-2 external conferences per year plus 2-3 internal events.

Responsibilities

• Collaborating with team members to report, write and publish copy daily
• Assisting with the newsletter, working alongside the brand editor
• Chasing down scoops and breaking news before other news outlets
• Conceptualizing, researching, writing and editing content for industry audiences
• Developing industry sources for stories and our events
• Supporting the editorial team on special projects (including podcast production and event planning)
• Attending industry conferences to establish and maintain contacts
• Assisting with content distribution through email campaigns and other channels
• Be open to exploring new technologies and learning everyday

Requirements :

When applying, submit your resume, three writing samples (that aren’t behind a paywall) and cover letter. The best writing samples will show an ability to cover complex topics and / or produce different types of stories, from quick hits to deep dives.
