Media Reporter

The New York Times is looking for a reporter to cover the people and the media entities that chronicle and interpret the news in an aggressive and creative manner.

The fearless candidates for this job should have enthusiasm for digging out the stories behind journalists’ successes, ethical missteps, and outright disasters. They should keep an eye on how industry-wide belt-tightening and whipsaw changes in corporate ownership have affected the coverage in a variety of areas. They should also be mindful of the importance of the press’s role in our society and how it is holding up during a tense political moment that coincides with a time when the old business model is breaking down.
