LA Times seeks technology reporter

The business section of the Los Angeles Times has an immediate opening for a technology reporter based in Silicon Valley or San Francisco, to cover Google, Facebook and Twitter as well as the region’s tech culture and economy.

The beat is among the most competitive and most important in business journalism. The ability to scoop our rivals and work closely with our Business section colleagues, especially those covering the entertainment industry and government regulators, is critical. The ideal candidate also must be able to step back to write compelling feature and enterprise stories.

Experience covering technology is strongly preferred. Essential is a curiosity about the social impacts of technology and an ability to explain difficult concepts to a lay audience. The reporter on this beat will file breaking news and other items to the Web, including the Tech Now blog, and will have great opportunities to land on A1 and interpret our increasingly connected lives in the 21st century.

If interested, please contact Technology Editor Peter Pae at peter.pae@latimes.com.
