VentureBeat seeks social media reporter

VentureBeat is hiring a social media reporter.

We’re looking for an experienced journalist to join our San Francisco team to help monitor, cover, and investigate social giants like Facebook and Twitter, plus startups like Snapchat and Tinder. Ideally, you’ll take ownership of our social media coverage and analyze the industry from both the human perspective (how does this impact users?) and the business perspective (ads, $, marketing).

You must be available to work full-time at our San Francisco office. You’re already familiar with jargon like MAUs, cost per click, acqui-hire, etc. It’d be great if you like to read VentureBeat, too. Seriously, though, you should already read VentureBeat. DO IT!

If you’re interested, please send a brief resume and writing samples here. For questions, please ping me via email or Twitter.
