WSJ looking for reporter to cover media

The Wall Street Journal’s Media & Marketing Group is looking for a reporter to write about the news business.
This person will be responsible for coverage of newspapers, magazines, financial information providers and the fast-growing array of online news sites.
This is a rapidly changing sector. Newspapers and magazines are looking to reinvent themselves in a digital world, just as a myriad of news web sites and blogs are trying to establish themselves.
