WSJ seeks reporter to cover NYC politics

The Wall Street Journal’s Greater New York bureau seeks a reporter to cover politics and government in New York City and the Tri-State area.

The job entails reporting and writing articles about issues, people and institutions in the region, including many of the NYC departments and agencies likely to face significant changes as a new mayor puts his policies and people in place. In addition to covering breaking news, this reporter digs for exclusives and newsy trend pieces that take readers inside the nation’s biggest city and its surroundings.
