Dow Jones seeks Market Talk reporter in London

Dow Jones is seeking a reporter to join its London-based team focused on Market Talk, a stream of real-time analysis and insight for professional customers.

Market Talk is a unique Dow Jones product offering smart, short-form analysis of movements in equities, bonds, currencies, economics and commodities.

Market Talk reporters also send headlines on market movements, produce summaries of Market Talks that speak to a particular market trend or which relate to coverage of a significant event.
