Barron’s Asia seeks reporters

Barron’s Asia, a premier paid financial news website to be launched this fall, seeks ambitious reporters who can write about everything from the impact of financial reform in China to the latest IPO of big Asian companies.

These are full-time positions based primarily in Hong Kong. Reporters are expected to write in English three to seven stories a week. These stories may include quick analyses of breaking news, interviews with money managers and even more in-depth features. This is a very broad beat, and candidates should be comfortable writing about different companies and investments across Asia.

The ideal candidate should have a knack for coming up with compelling investment ideas, and writing for a broad investing audience. They should also be adept at interpreting and analyzing news, thinking critically, and forming opinions on complex topics and shifting market trends.

Successful applicants should be strong writers who are self-motivated. They should have at least three years’ experience covering markets or finance, preferably in Asia. While they’ll write in English, an ability to speak local languages is a plus. They’ll also have a chance to work with Barron’s colleagues around the world, and have stories published in the U.S. magazine.

Dow Jones offers an opportunity to work for one of the world’s leading financial and business news companies. We invite interested candidates to submit in confidence a cover letter and detailed resume stating your qualifications, contact details and current and expected via here.
