Slate is hiring a full-time staff writer to contribute to its business and technology coverage.
We’re looking for a sharp, curious, and omnivorous journalist who can report on and analyze the impact that the biggest forces of the modern economy have on our lives. How exactly we define the job—the companies, innovations, trends, and people it focuses on—will depend to a degree on the candidate’s interests. We’re flexible. Our main expectation is that the writer interpret, probe, and drive the news, and do so with originality and verve. Slate’s offices are in D.C. and Brooklyn, but we are considering applications from all over. This is a position covered under a collective bargaining agreement between Slate and the Writers Guild of America, East.
