WSJ seeks bankruptcy reporter

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a reporter to cover bankruptcy news for WSJ Pro Bankruptcy as well as for our real-time newswires and the online and print editions of the Wall Street Journal.

We need a journalist who can work fast, encapsulating important news from court hearings and documents into headlines and stories. Equally important is being able to identify broader trends in bankruptcy and to write about them in a sophisticated yet accessible style.

Business, financial or legal reporting experience would be a plus for the role.

The position is based in New York.
