• Is capable of writing stories with minimal supervision on a wide range of topics with creativity, depth, and flair.
• Is fluent in audience analytics — not only how to interpret them, but also how to use them as a tool to make decisions.
• Thrives as part of a group setting, juggling multiple tasks at once and collaborating with your colleagues in a fast-paced environment.
• Shows creativity. You constantly think about unorthodox ways to tell stories and convey the news to people. You thrive being at the cutting edge of technology and journalism, and want to help push this industry into the future.

Requirements

• Excellent headline writer
• Able to backread stories for errors and clarity
