Fast Company seeks news writer

Fast Company is looking for a full-time news writer based in New York to cover business, technology, creativity, and innovation.

We’re seeking a creative thinker, imagineer, and news junkie who can collaborate with the news team on smart angles and analyses on the issues that matter to our readers. The writer will primarily be responsible for contributing to our FastCoNews stream with short, ideas-driven posts and occasional longer stories, and coming up with creative ways to present narratives with catchy headlines, compelling charts, and informative infographics.

FastCoNews is a real-time, ideas-driven stream of information and analysis—a new way to consume news. It provides short-and-fast updates on the big stories our readers care about. The stream is an news-focused extension of Fast Company’s mission to chronicle companies and innovators who are discarding the old rules of business and changing the world.

This is a full-time freelance position.

This job is right for you if:

• You have excellent news instincts.
• You have at least 3 years experience covering business and/or technology with a focus on innovation and leadership.
• You are familiar with data visualization tools and enjoy telling stories with compelling infographics.
• You have the capacity to thrive in a fast-paced newsroom, both independently and as part of a team.
• You are an engaging and accurate writer who gets Fast Company’s voice and style.
• You never miss a deadline—even a short one.

To apply, please email a cover letter, resume, and clips to Marcus Baram at mbaram@fastcompany.com.
