Reuters seeks reporter to cover Apple

Reuters News is seeking an experienced business journalist to join our technology reporting team in San Francisco.

The primary focus of this position is to cover Apple Inc. in all its dimensions, from its product and business performance to its broader role in shaping our lives and culture. Few companies exert as profound an influence on the world as Apple, and this is a great opportunity for a competitive reporter to make a mark covering the people, the technology, the business challenges and the political and social dynamics shaping both Apple and the broader tech industry.

The role involves a mix of straight news and initiative stories, with a strong emphasis on stories that break important news or provide unique information and insight. While there is considerable back-up for covering day-to-day Apple news, this reporter would be expected to take the lead on major stories and shape distinctive Apple coverage that sets Reuters apart.

At times the job will involve ranging beyond  Apple to cover other aspects of tech as well. It will also involve frequent collaboration with colleagues in San Francisco, New York, Washington, Beijing, London, Brussels and elsewhere, as we employ our global reach to tell the tech story with both breadth and depth.

The ideal applicant will be an aggressive business reporter who loves a good story and knows how to dig. Experience covering Apple and a deep Rolodex of sources would be major assets. The ability to write quickly and accurately under deadline pressure is essential, as is the ability to develop and nurture sources that can inform longer-term initiative reporting.

Familiarity with contemporary social media and multimedia tools and the ability to work well with others in a highly collaborative environment are also required.
