Technology correspondent’s job

The Economist is looking for a technology correspondent to work at its headquarters in London. Knowledge of the field, an ability to write informatively, succinctly and wittily, and an insatiable curiosity are more important attributes than prior journalistic experience. The successful candidate will understand that the terms “technology” and “information technology” are not identical. An engineering degree, or background in engineering, would be an advantage. Applicants should send a CV, a brief letter introducing themselves, and an article of about 600 words which they think would be suitable for publication, to [email protected]. The closing date for applications is May 27th 2016.
