National Affairs covers a wide range of topics across the country—abortion, immigration, guns, race and more. Its reporters are expected to develop expertise on one or more of these tentpole topics, but we prize nimbleness: New issues and new topics constantly crop up, and National Affairs reporters must be able to pick up on them and move rapidly to report and write rich and informative stories.
The successful candidate will have shown conceptual sophistication on big and complex topics, and will have a record of elegantly written and ambitious long-form features. He or she should be comfortable with different formats and platforms. National Affairs reporters work frequently with colleagues assigned to economics, politics, finance and business news, so a desire to collaborate is a must.
The position is based in the Journal’s New York newsroom.
