LA Times seeks auto reporter

The Los Angeles Times is looking for an automotive reporter with the big picture vision to help readers peer into the future of mobility.

California has long been a hub of the industry and car culture – and traffic and smog. Now the state’s efforts to conquer those problems, along with its dominance of the technology industry, have converged into a global center of transportation innovation.

Electric cars, hydrogen fuel cells, plug-in hybrids, ride-sharing, car-sharing, nation-leading environmental regulation – it’s all happening here before it spreads across the nation and the world.

California’s leading news organization needs a reporter with deep analytical skills and a fast metabolism to serve readers on multiple platforms. The job demands a deft mix of consumer and industry stories that distinguish the Times from the clutter of coverage on this competitive beat.
