Las Vegas Sun seeks tech reporter

The Las Vegas Sun is looking for a technology reporter with ambition, will and flexibility to produce compelling, unique content for a range of innovative digital and print products.

A successful candidate must be abreast of the latest developments in technology with a primary focus on technology’s role in business and economic development of the region. A secondary, but very important, focus will be on technology’s impact on our lives and localizing technology (and device) news for the Las Vegas audience.

A solid working knowledge of general trends in technology, infrastructure, legal and practical concerns surrounding technology and the entertaining side of technology are desirable. The goal for this writer will be to produce stories for a general audience that illuminates and engages the reader and create a lively picture our technological landscape.

With dynamic developments in our role in internet infrastructure, web startups, medical technology developments and gaming technology, Las Vegas stands poised to become a major player in tech going forward. We are seeking a person to chronicle what promises to be an extremely dynamic area of coverage.

In addition to the daily Sun print publication and its website, lasvegassun.com, the reporter will produce stories for The Sunday, a new weekly print publication offering graphically rich news stories, features and lifestyle content.

Please submit resumes with writing samples and the subject line “Technology Reporter” to: jobs@gmgvegas.com
