Ragan Communications seeks a reporter with trade publication experience to write smart, service-driven content that educates professional audiences and drives engagement, registrations and long-term brand value.
We’re an award-winning media company focused on the communications/PR market and with a service-based mission. The ideal candidate will be someone who values business journalism, team collaboration and innovation. 
Our content, conferences, research and sponsored programs are all fueled by strong storytelling, thoughtful reporting and strategic content marketing. This role blends editorial rigor with marketing instincts - creating content that informs, attracts and converts audiences across articles, events, research and sponsored campaigns. We focus especially on utility and trend-based journalism, not people moves or enterprise. If you love learning and teaching, this is a role you can thrive in.
In a typical week, you might interview a Fortune 100 chief communications officer, develop content to support an upcoming conference and curate timely industry coverage. You’ll work closely with editors, conference producers and marketing partners in a collaborative, fully remote environment.
Responsibilities include:
  • Write original, reported articles for PR Daily that educate audiences and drive sustained engagement.
  • Create content to promote Ragan events, including articles, previews, speaker profiles and supporting editorial features.
  • Develop multimedia assets, including video, both remotely and on sight, for use as part of editorial content.
  • Work on sponsored content such as white papers, long-form articles, tip sheets and thought leadership assets.  
  • Build strong relationships with sources across agencies, brands and the communications industry to support both editorial and marketing initiatives.
  • Participate in live Ragan conferences and events several times a year.
Skills:
  • Strong interviewing and reporting skills.
  • The ability to source high-level executives.
  • Ability to translate complex ideas into compelling, audience-first content that supports business goals.
  • Crisp, engaging writing with a friendly, authoritative tone.
  • Comfort working cross-functionally with editorial, events and sales teams.
  • Strong communication skills in a remote work environment.
  • Curiosity and a growth mindset.
  • Willingness to experiment with new content formats, distribution strategies and promotional approaches.
  • A data-driven focus, including experience with Google Analytics or similar tools.
Location:
  • Fully remote, with a preference for candidates near major PR or communications hubs to support sourcing.
  • Travel is required approximately five times per year for events and team-building activities.
Experience:
  • At least 5 years of experience in reporting.
  • At least two years of experience in B2B trade media or a comparable professional audience environment.
  • Four-year college degree required.
Benefits and Perks:
Our core values – Connection, Curiosity, Innovation, and Integrity – guide all we do and help define what’s important to us at Ragan. 
  • Comprehensive health benefits
  • 401(k) with strong employer match
  • Employer-paid life and disability insurance
  • Flexible work environment
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • Professional development support
  • Early close Fridays all year

How to Apply
We’re looking for someone who’s not only an exceptional writer but also pays close attention to detail – the kind of communicator who reads between the lines.
To show us that, please include a brief cover letter that does one thing:
  • Pitch us one story you'd write for PR Daily in your first month and tell us how you'd report it – including who you'd call and what the reader walks away able to do.
Applications without a cover letter will not be considered – this helps us identify candidates who take the time to fully read and engage with our job description.
