Ad Age seeks digital reporter

Advertising Age is looking for a dynamic, self-starter to cover digital media and social platforms.

This reporter will be charged with diving into how digital technologies are impacting our industry — and explaining it to marketers. The coverage area includes Silicon Valley giants such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, AOL and Yahoo, as well as startups looking to further disrupt the ecosystem.

The right candidate should also be able to help marketers differentiate between plausible players and snake-oil salesmen.

Requirements

This post requires 10+ years of reporting experience, with experience covering digital media and social platforms.

Candidates must have a demonstrated ability to develop sources, break news and write features.

This is a high-profile, high-stakes beat, and it generates some of our most talked-about coverage. As such, candidates should be comfortable with public speaking and media appearances.

The successful candidate will be scoops-obsessed, collaborative and outgoing.

You must have an eye for details, clear and accurate writing skills and an ability to make complex issues compelling, readable and shareable.
