Slate seeks tech reporter

December 20, 2016

Posted by Chris Roush

Slate_logoSlate is hiring a full-time technology writer to work in our New York or Washington, D.C., offices.

The writer will be responsible for writing frequently on topics like cybersecurity, surveillance, robotics, social media, internet culture, and technology policy. This isn’t really a gadget-reviewing gig—you’ll write less about the new iPhone cameras than about the Apple-FBI encryption debate or the high drama involving the iOS peach emoji.

Mostly, we’re eager to shape the job around you, the areas you’d like to dig into as a reporter, and the arguments you want to make as a leading technology voice. Slate welcomes candidates with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

To apply, submit a cover letter; a résumé; three references; a short critique of a recent Slate technology story (no more than 400 words); and three clips or writing samples (Word docs preferred).

Applications should be emailed to TechWriter@slate.com.
