News Desk Reporter

Forbes is growing its News Desk. The ideal candidate should be a news obsessive with a passion for thinking quickly and creatively off breaking news and emerging news trends and topic areas. The challenge for the desk is to quickly distill big news events down to their essence, in crystal-clear prose and and with proper context, for the Forbes Topline story format, adding supplemental reporting when possible. Top candidates are generalists who can write about anything, though specific area expertise specific to Forbes (business, finance, entrepreneurship, technology) a plus. This is a contract position with potential for full time employment.
