WSJ seeks Midwest reporter

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a second reporter to join its Chicago-based team covering the Midwest—a vast range of territory from Pennsylvania to the Dakotas and Minnesota to Arkansas.

We’re looking for an enterprising reporter ready to crank out a quick story in the morning and jump on a plane in the afternoon to the latest hotspot, whether it’s a flood, tornado or civil unrest.

The ideal candidate will have at least three years’ experience at a major newspaper or the online equivalent and be a quick study, a people person and a strong story teller.

The reporter will develop a base of sources within law-enforcement and first responders and aim to break news before, during and after the next disaster strikes. Experience with video, photography, social media and grace under pressure strongly encouraged.

Applications should include a resume, cover letter, and up to five published clips.
