You will have a record of distinguished beat coverage, including a proven ability to break news, spot trends, develop sources and produce deeply reported features. You are adept at writing in a variety of formats, able to juggle deadline demands with long-term efforts, and both comfortable and creative with a full set of digital and multimedia tools.
