The Massachusetts technology scene is bursting with energy and innovation, from dorm room startups to large biotechs with global ambitions. We want a similarly energized tech reporter to not only cover the news, but to also tap into the culture of the tech world. The writing needs to be smart, confident, fully-voiced, unorthodox — and even funny –vividly telling stories about the quirky personalities and outsized ideas that drive innovation at ever faster speeds.
Responsibilities:
Reporting and writing breaking news and enterprise pieces for print and online.
Qualifications:
Skillful writing — as well as rock-solid reporting. We’re seeking someone who has ability to not only convey important news, but to do it in a sophisticated and entertaining manner that will engage a wide range of readers, not just those wedded to the business world. We are looking for a storyteller who is precise, prolific, and excited about the accelerating pace of change in a modern newsroom.
Required skills and experience:
An English or journalism degree and a minimum of 4 years covering business — preferably technology — for a daily newspaper. Please don’t apply if you lack this experience.
