Seoul Correspondent

The Los Angeles Times has a long track record of world-class reporting from the Korean peninsula – from documenting life inside the pariah state of North Korea to illuminating the economic and social changes sweeping South Korea. We are looking for a proven reporter to build on that tradition. This is primarily an enterprise job writing in-depth features, though on occasion it will require covering breaking news. The successful candidate will be a self-starter and have a wealth of story ideas in a wide range of areas, including technology, business, culture and sports, with an eye for the original, the surprising and the counterintuitive. Experience with other forms of journalism, including podcasting and video production, is highly desirable, as well as an eagerness to experiment with how we tell stories.
