Gizmodo seeks a blockchain reporter

Gizmodo is looking for a reporter to join our spirited, fast-paced newsroom and write about blockchain technology, Web 3.0, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs—and the people and companies behind them.
The ideal candidate for this position has experience covering the beat and a deep understanding of the major players and issues. They learn quickly on their feet, write fast, clean copy, and have a growing list of sources in the tech world. They can write breaking news from a Senate hearing about cryptocurrencies one day, and then move on to making fun of a goofy NFT the next.
They can smell hype and BS from a mile away, expertly parse press releases and PR statements with a critical eye, and have impeccable fact-checking skills. They know what makes a great story for Gizmodo, and can write for us with confidence and voice.

Essential Requirements:

  • At least 2 years of experience reporting tech news stories at a major print or digital publication.
  • A strong understanding of the major companies, issues, and reader-focused concerns across the technology world.
  • The ability to juggle sources and interviews while still getting out breaking news.
  • Knowledge of journalistic standards, laws, and best reporting practices.
  • A good sense of humor and a quick wit.

To apply, please submit a resume/cover letter about why you’re the right fit for the job and what beats you are most interested in covering.
