Misinformation Reporter

The New York Times is seeking an ambitious reporter to examine the world of misinformation in all its forms. This is a high-profile assignment, as evidenced by the crucial role coverage of false and misleading information has played in big stories like the Ukraine war and the Capitol riots. The reporter will jump on news, lead investigative pieces, produce scoops, and write profiles. The reporter must have at least 5 years of experience in reporting, with a demonstrated ability to follow money trails and uncover people who purposely operate out of the limelight. This is a beat that intersects with almost every part of the report, including media, politics, health and international, so an ability and willingness to collaborate is essential.
