‘Gig’ Economy & Autonomous Vehicles Reporter

The Information is seeking a reporter to cover Uber and the broader “gig” economy industry as well as the self-driving car developers trying to automate it. This position has produced award-winning journalism in each of the past three years. The role traverses ride-hailing and food delivery companies such as DoorDash, goPuff, and Instacart, which were transformed by the Covid-19 pandemic, and newer entrants including Travis Kalanick’s CloudKitchens. Lyft is in a precarious position and Uber continues to be a source of corporate intrigue and drama. And even more drama. Many of these companies are now treading on each other’s turf, setting up a war that will generate rich stories on the future of labor and how people shop and move around.
