The Wall Street Journal’s CIO Journal is looking for a reporter to cover one of the most important forces driving business today: the rapid advance of emerging digital technologies within the corporation.
CIO Journal, which covers the role of the chief information officer at the intersection of technology and business, approaches emerging technology in a unique way. While we pay close attention to the ideas that are bubbling up from venture-backed startups and academia, our focus is on the trials and experiments underway in corporations themselves.
We are interested in the migration of ideas, technology and culture from the tech world into the corporate world, and we write about these things just as they enter, or are about to enter, the testing lab. We assess which ideas do or do not have staying power, and explain why that is so.
This job requires, above all, an absolutely dogged reporting ability. The successful candidate must also have a knack for understanding complex ideas and explaining them with precision and clarity. A background in covering technology is helpful, but a passion for covering business and an instinct for what’s important are crucial. The emerging tech reporter must collaborate closely with other members of the CIO Journal team, as well as with other bureaus and teams at The Wall Street Journal.
This position will be based in San Francisco or New York. Applications should include a resume, cover letter, and up to five published clips.
