CNNMoney seeks tech writers

CNNMoney, CNN’s fast growing digital platform for business news, is hiring several writers to play a key role on its expanding tech team.

We’re looking for journalists with a passion for technology – an obsession with the way that tech impacts our lives. The offbeat, the surprising, the absurd – we want to tell the stories that get people talking around the dinner table.

We’re looking for journalists who can pivot easily between breaking news and longer-term stories, who prize source development and deep reporting. We want writers with interest and expertise in at least one of the following areas: the business of tech, innovation, and culture. Most importantly, we want writers who are excited (and maybe a little bit scared) about the way that technology has permeated all of our lives – and want to find a new way to tell those stories.
