Digital newsroom covering tech seeks reporters, editors in LA

A new digital publication covering technology and start-ups is offering several full-time positions in Los Angeles, including reporters, a managing editor and a web editor.

The positions will be part of a broader effort to cover the $160 billion tech hub of Silicon Beach, everything from heavyweights like Snap to the innovative start-ups that launch each day. Coverage will also closely examine the venture capital that flows into the space, and the personalities behind the money. The intersection of Hollywood and tech will also be a crucial plank in our journalism.

Candidates should be digital natives, equally adept at writing a story on deadline to leveraging social media to promote content. Breaking news is essential, and the ability to craft long-form narrative is a plus. Previous experience in journalism, technology or financial news is essential. Applicants should be self-motivators, organized, and be team players interested in launching a unique and diverse newsroom.

The positions are based out of Los Angeles. Send resumes to journalistrecruiting@gmail.com
