• Be well-versed in beat reporting and able to coach reporters on sourcing tactics that help them break into major companies.
• Advise and encourage reporters to generate consistent original reporting that other publications need to chase and executives need to read.
• Be a team player who actively collaborates with Insider’s other reporting teams to elevate all of our tech coverage.
