WSJ seeks senior correspondent in Beijing

The Wall Street Journal seeks a real-time editor to oversee coverage of the economy, business and other market-moving events. The editor will supervise reporters, assign coverage, edit and file copy to provide online and institutional subscribers timely, competitive information.

This full-time, Beijing-based position requires an experienced hand. The real-time editor occupies a linchpin role in the Journal’s China bureau, guiding coverage that is of core interest to readers of the Journal and subscribers of Dow Jones Newswires. The editor will work alongside veterans and aggressive, less experienced reporters and must be ready to step into the breach to write breaking news and step-back analyses for all news platforms.

A keen understanding of economics and markets is a must as is experience working with a team of reporters. Chinese is a plus. Patience is a requirement, along with connective thinking and a passion for accuracy. The ability to work under extreme deadline pressure and remain in good cheer is vital. Given that, a commitment to maintaining high ethical standards is paramount. The job reports to the China bureau chief.
