Advertising Age seeks reporter in New York

Advertising Age, the leading global source of news, intelligence and conversation for the marketing and media community, is looking for a reporter to cover the media-agency beat. This reporter will be charged with one of the most crucial beats for Ad Age readers. We are looking for a reporter able to dig up news, not to aggregate links or rewrite press releases.

These agencies and the players within them are at the crossroads of a rapidly changing advertising landscape, one in which a very lucrative sector fueled by TV buying and high margins is trying to stay one step ahead of a world being transformed by data and programmatic offerings. In the last few years, it’s also seen a number of massive agency reviews as well as a standoff between media agencies and the marketer clients they represent.

Required experience:

5 + years reporting experience
Experience reporting business news
Must be able to demonstrate ability to develop sources, break news and write features
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to make complex issues compelling, readable and shareable
Self-starter
Bachelor degree required

Nice to have:

Experience covering media agencies and/or advertising agencies
Scoop-obsessed and has a collaborative mind-set
Comfortable with public speaking and media appearances
Familiar with social-media platforms and comfortable with web-based content-management systems
Bachelor degree in journalism, English, communications or similar field

To apply, go here.
