With more than 10 million page views a year and a community measuring in the hundreds of thousands, DCD is a media, conference, and training company that serves the digital infrastructure market.

DCD is looking for a junior reporter seeking to enter the world of journalism. We will offer on-the-job training and support and help someone starting out learn the ropes and establish themselves in the B2B sector.

This is a hybrid role, with a mix of office and remote-working; DCD’s office is based in London. Some international travel will be expected on occasion.

You will be expected to write daily news stories for our audience of data center owners, operators, and suppliers, as well as write regular features for our website, magazine, and supplements. Further down the line, you would be involved in occasional podcast episodes and panel hosting, as well as video content.

Coverage areas include:

Data centre construction and operation
Power and cooling
Energy and sustainability
Space and satellites
Cloud computing
Telecoms, including terrestrial and subsea fiber
Supercomputing
Artificial intelligence
Semiconductors
Regulation and current affairs

Responsibilities:

Sourcing and writing news for the website and longer features for the magazine
Meeting and interviewing key members of the data center industry, locally and abroad
Attending DCD’s own events and wider industry events globally
Representing the company professionally, demonstrating the company’s culture and values at all times

Ideally, you will have:

A relevant degree or equivalent (for example, NUJ accreditation)
Some journalism or writing experience
And interest in the technology industry and its ramifications

While an ideal candidate would have some relevant experience or qualifications, this is not essential if you are able to: Show a demonstrable interest in journalism, can learn quickly, and can handle technical topics. The rest of the editorial team will help with industry-specific training and DCD will offer external training where desired.
