Emily Nelson, the editor of the Personal Journal section of The Wall Street Journal, sent out the following announcement to the staff on Wednesday:
Personal Journal is looking for a reporter. This feature-writing position could cover any or all of the following topics including shopping, gadgets, home life and design, fashion, and food. We can tailor the beat for the candidate. The most important qualities are the ability to generate story ideas and creatively execute them. The reporter would be expected to write weekly, primarily for the Wednesday and Thursday Personal Journal sections.
The job requires thinking about story-telling with graphics and photos. Ideal candidates will have a track record as a beat reporter, as a big part of PJ coverage is decoding the marketing trends and messages hitting consumers. As part of a team of reporters and editors on Personal Journal, the reporter will help shape the section’s coverage, in print and online.
Please let Leslie Yazel or me know if you’re interested.
