United Press International is looking for a health writer

United Press International is seeking an experienced freelance health writer to cover breaking news and produce original reporting on new research and trends.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

United Press International delivers an objective, continuously updated stream of breaking news from the United States and around the world at UPI.com, as well as digital, mobile, print and research licensing clients. We cover developments in science, health, technology, the economy and in-depth coverage of space — from astronomical discoveries to manned space launches. Celebrity interviews, original photography, sports and “odd news” round out coverage.

UPI’s legacy of fair and reliable reporting dates back to 1907, when it was founded by E.W. Scripps as the United Press. It became known as UPI after a merger with the International News Service in 1958, which was founded in 1909 by William Randolph Hearst. Today, UPI is owned by News World Communications.
