Reuters seeks advertising and media reporter

Reuters is looking for an aggressive, creative reporter to lead our coverage of advertising and the many ways it is changing both the virtual and real worlds.

Internet technologies are remaking media, commerce and culture – and digital advertising, which sits at the intersection of all three – is an excellent lens through which to report on that transformation. Ads are becoming more targeted; we’re in the midst of a generational shift away from traditional pay TV; and more and more consumers are using their mobile devices to view content.

We need a reporter equipped to plow this rich terrain to produce original, agenda-setting stories that reveal where viewers are going, how media giants and startups are pursuing them, and the strategies, pitfalls and implications of this scramble for eyeballs and ad dollars.

Qualifications
– At least five years of full-time reporting experience
– Strong skills as a writer and reporter
– Ability to work with data and financial documents
– Ability to write quickly and clearly on deadline
– Ability to cast news events within a broader contextual framework
– Ability to develop good sources in New York, Hollywood and Silicon Valley
– Ability and willingness to collaborate with Reuters colleagues in other bureaus/regions

This job is based in New York.
