Help Wanted: Dead-Tree Media Desperately Seeking 'KC Food Insider'

There are at least a half-a-dozen foodie blogs who already perform this gig for little or no money.

Meanwhile, we're certain this is the just another corporate "ghost job" listing in order to gain an advantage over any competition . . . Check-it:  

Kansas City loves to eat. It’s at the center of our “going out” plans, a huge part of our entertainment. And we have a remarkable award-winning restaurant scene that offers some of the best meals you can find anywhere. It’s not just barbecue — really.

And almost as much as we love to eat, we love to talk about our food: What’s the best? Why don’t we have…? Whatever happened to…? Where can I find…? 

This Kansas City reporter will be tasked with answering all those questions and more, joining our existing restaurants and retail reporter to expand our coverage of this vibrant food scene and our engagement with these voracious readers. 

Stories might include openings and closings, high-utility lists, Q&As with readers, behind-the-scenes features, first-person pieces and nuanced discussions of how KC’s food scene compares to others.

The successful candidate will bring creativity to their storytelling, an ability to listen to our audience, and a voice that makes Kansas Citians want to connect with them.

This reporter will be expected to research and write compelling stories that serve our readers’ needs, especially helping them find the food they want and offering perspective on the city’s food offerings. You’ll be expected to follow the latest news and conversation in local dining, connect with sources in the industry and continuously pitch new ideas.
