WSJ seeks China economy reporter

WSJ 2017 The Wall Street Journal is looking for an enterprising reporter to cover China’s economy. The successful candidate will be able to explore the world’s second largest economy with detailed and insightful reporting.

The job involves covering the numbers but also getting beyond them to examine the forces driving China’s growth and the weaknesses putting it at risk — one of the world’s great stories. The tension between credit growth and asset bubbles, economic reform and central control, and internationalization and capital controls provide rich territory for exploration. We’re looking for someone who can pursue all that and more.

Dow Jones offers an opportunity to work for one of the world’s leading financial and business news companies. We invite interested candidates to submit a cover letter and detailed resume (including up to five published samples of your work), current and expected salary.
