WSJ seeks transportation reporter in New York

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a transportation reporter for its Greater New York section.

The reporter will cover regional transportation both online and in print, and contribute stories of national impact to the U.S. News section of The Wall Street Journal and to Page One.

The successful candidate will know how to develop great sources at key transportation agencies and deliver timely scoops, along with breaking news and other enterprise stories.

The beat covers issues that affect drivers, passengers and commuters in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, whether they are taking subways, buses, commuter railroads, or driving their own car.

Candidates should have a minimum of three years’ experience as journalists, and be prepared for the heavy writing demands of a daily section that places a premium on breaking stories.

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

To apply, go here.
