Reuters is seeking an accomplished journalist to fill a multi-faceted role as reporter and trunk writer who can coordinate stringers and closely monitor breaking U.S. general news during late night/overnight hours.

If you believe you can bring something special to this role, we want to hear from you. You may have a non-traditional career path, education or background. If you meet the minimum qualifications for the role, let us know in a cover letter with your application. Reuters depends on diversity of thought and you could be just what we need.

– Experience as a news agency/wire service journalist preferred
– Ability to write well under pressure
– Ability to juggle multiple stories at the same time
– Experience dealing with stringer copy a plus
