Data Privacy and Security Reporter

MLex is seeking a reporter in Washington, DC, to cover the intersection of technology and the law, particularly privacy and data security regulation and other Internet policy-making and enforcement by the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. The ideal candidate will have some experience covering Congress, the federal court system and state or federal agencies; and will have enthusiasm for partnering with other reporters. MLex is a highly collaborative environment, and the reporter will frequently work with reporters focused on similar topics in Brussels, Silicon Valley, Hong Kong and elsewhere. The job offers opportunities to break news on topics such as encryption, privacy, data security, net neutrality, facial recognition and other emerging tracking technologies, and to write in-depth stories about the implications of emerging technologies.
