As a major part of your role, you’ll run Gizmodo’s reviews and product coverage and will oversee a team of reporters and reviewers, assign them stories and reviews, guide their reporting, edit their copy, and work with other editors to publish fast, accurate, and insightful journalism. You’ll be providing Gizmodo’s large audience with valuable insight and opinions about consumer technology products.
The ideal candidate for this position has a broad understanding of the consumer technology space, and experience as both an editor and a reporter covering the industry. They have great contacts at major companies and are respected for their fair and insightful coverage. They are equally comfortable working on an in-depth product review, a breaking news announcement, or broad coverage of a major event like CES. They should also be comfortable with major benchmarking software, hands-on product testing and reviewing.
You should apply if you know what’s important and what’s just hype; you can recommend sources and help young reporters grow; and you’re used to the fast pace of covering news on the web, but can also provide depth and accuracy. You can smell hype from a mile away and expertly parse press releases and PR statements. You know what makes a great story for Gizmodo and can guide our coverage with confidence and insight.
