San Francisco Chronicle seeks tech culture reporter

Cover a changing region by chronicling the way technology affects society — and the way society affects the technology industry.

As a Tech Culture reporter, you will examine how the Bay Area’s most important industry impacts its residents.

This means covering new uses of technology that change peoples’ lives, such as how wearables are disrupting healthcare, how protesters are rallying via social media, and whether people wind up tipping more or less thanks to services like Square and Apple Pay.

You will also cover the way technology companies react to societal pressures, such as pushes for increased diversity, transparency and regulation. You will also cover the culture of the technology industry, inside the workplace and out of it. This requires an ability to source and spot trends before anyone else.

What you will do:

• Tell stories that matter
• Generate your own story ideas
• Work collaboratively both inside and across departments
• Think visually
• Balance daily deadline journalism with ambitious project reporting

What it will take to be successful:

• Bachelor’s degree
• Killer story ideas
• 3-5+ years experience reporting for a daily newspaper, magazine or website
• Experience creating stories in different forms
• Experience holding institutional powers accountable
• Familiarity with the technology industry
