The Wrap seeks a media and tech reporter

TheWrap is seeking an experienced reporter to cover the business of media and technology — particularly how new technologies are revolutionizing the traditional entertainment/media space. Are you passionate about the business side that shapes what we consume on our screens? Is Tik Tok on your radar? Can you identify new business models – or dying ones – as well as the trends that are transforming the media industry? Do you need to know whether Elon is finally going to buy Twitter — or why Clubhouse may not be around in 12 months? Then this is the job for you.

The ideal candidate will be highly organized, energetic and capable of multitasking in a real-time news environment.

Required skills:

– At least 3-5 years of experience working in a digital-first newsroom covering business news

– Superior news judgment and writing skills

– Passion for media/tech news and the players involved

– Love for deep storytelling and the reporting skills that go with it

– Proficiency on a CMS such as WordPress

– Social media savvy
