The reporter will actively monitor a range of sources and platforms, including government announcements, regulatory developments, policy papers, industry reports, social media and Google Trends, to identify emerging stories, conversations and topics of interest to a global audience.

  • Apply sound editorial judgement and rigorous fact-checking to ensure accuracy, fairness, clarity and journalistic integrity.
  • Collaborate with editors, visuals and audience teams to package stories with graphics, images, video and embeds.
  • Meet tight deadlines and respond flexibly to the demands of a fast-paced digital newsroom.
  • Perform any other reasonable duties necessary to meet the needs of the business.

Requirements:

  • Experience in a reputable, fast-paced digital newsroom covering technology, public policy, politics, business or a related field.
  • Proven ability to source, pitch, report and produce several stories each day to a high standard.
  • Strong knowledge of artificial intelligence, technology policy, regulation and governance issues.

Desirable:

  • Proficiency with content management systems, digital publishing tools and basic analytics to inform coverage decisions.
  • A track record of original reporting, including exclusives, investigations or high-impact enterprise pieces.
  • Familiarity with data journalism basics, including spreadsheets, public datasets, simple charts and public records.
  • Competency with multimedia, including image editing, simple video trimming and social embeds.
  • Knowledge of SEO techniques and audience development strategies.

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
