NY Times seeks misinformation reporter on tech desk

The New York Times is seeking an ambitious reporter who will examine the world of misinformation in all its forms.

The reporter will lead investigative pieces, produce scoops, and write profiles. The reporter must have at least 5 years of experience in reporting, with a demonstrated ability to follow money trails and uncover information about people who purposely operate out of the limelight.

This is a beat that intersects with almost every part of the report, including media, politics, health and international, so an ability and willingness to collaborate is essential. A sense of humor is also required.

Location: The job will be based in New York and report into the tech group which is part of the business desk.
