WSJ seeks Justice Department reporter in DC

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a seasoned, energetic reporter to join our Justice Department coverage team.

As we face a growing flow of news from the Justice Department, FBI and Special Counsel’s Office, we are looking for a journalist who can juggle breaking news, scoops and enterprise of varying lengths.

Applicants should have a demonstrated knowledge of the subject matter, from cybersecurity to legal procedure, as well as an ability to develop sources in the often-secretive law enforcement community.

This person will be part of a team, so collegiality and a willingness to collaborate are a must. This is a high-profile, exciting beat of great value to the Journal.

To apply, go here.
