Netflix/Media Reporter

We are looking for a reporter to cover the future of video streaming and media publishing. This beat is an opportunity to go deep inside of Netflix, Disney+, Warner-Discovery and the video arms of Apple and Amazon—which have become major forces in entertainment—and to explore their relationship with Hollywood. The television industry also has been transformed by hardware, as Roku and other TV makers try to replicate the gatekeeper role cable and satellite TV operators played in the past. We want a reporter with the curiosity and skills to write the stories that aren’t being told, such as how Netflix and rival apps decide what shows to promote to customers and how the rush to build streaming businesses has caused organizational chaos at Disney, Warner (owner of CNN, HBO) and other companies. The Information has a long history of covering these industries as well as the digital news, audio and video upstarts—from Vice and Vox to The Athletic and Spotify—that compete with the established brands.
