WSJ seeks writer for “10-Point” newsletter

The Wall Street Journal seeks an experienced writer for its popular “10-Point” newsletter.

The right candidate will work directly with editor-in-chief Gerard Baker to distill our best scoops and stories into an engaging daily must-read for a loyal subscriber audience.

We’re looking for a creative self-starter who can work with minimal supervision to prepare the newsletter for early-morning publication and look for opportunities to grow its audience.

The newsletter is named “The 10-Point” after the nickname conferred by the editors of The Wall Street Journal on the lead column of the legendary “What’s News” digest of top stories. Technically, “10-point” referred to the size of the typeface. The type is smaller now but the name lives on.

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

To apply, go here.
