The Wall Street Journal is seeking a Washington D.C.-based audio reporter and producer for its podcasting team. The audio reporter/producer will work with text reporters and newsroom editors to produce timely audio journalism for WSJ’s portfolio of daily news and finance podcasts. This role encompasses a mix of reporting on the mic, as well as producing behind the scenes, and includes fill-in hosting for regular podcast hosts as needed. Top candidates for this position will have a professional background in audio journalism at a news organization, top-notch on-air presentation and writing skills, and have experience reporting business and politics in the studio and the field.
