Reuters seeks Apple reporter

The Reuters San Francisco Bureau is seeking a top-notch beat reporter to lead coverage of Apple, one of the world’s most interesting and important companies.

The position also involves working closely with bureau colleagues in covering the remarkable array of business and technology developments that are currently under way in Silicon Valley.

The successful candidate will be an experienced business reporter who is equally comfortable handling fast-breaking news and deep enterprise reporting. The ability to develop sources, break news, write quickly and clearly, and work effectively with a highly secretive company are essential.

Creativity with story ideas, discernment in deciding what’s news and what isn’t, and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues in San Francisco, New York and multiple bureaus in Asia are also crucial.

The Apple beat is among the most competitive in all of journalism, and thus the successful candidate must be someone who thrives on that competition and is willing to go the extra mile to break news.

The position also involves occasional coverage of everything from plane crashes to sporting events, depending on the bureau’s needs.
