• An excellent writer, able to tackle several complex stories or issues at the same time.
• Willing to collaborate and share ideas with other reporters on your team and across the newsroom.
• Adept at posting quickly to the website and eager to embrace emerging digital story forms, such as newsletters, that help engage new readers.
