Personal Tech Reporter

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a creative, ambitious reporter to cover our lives online. The Personal Tech bureau is part of the Journal’s growing Life & Work team, which is devoted to covering the way we spend our money and our time. You will write news and memorable features that illuminate internet trends, the unexpected consequences of online life and ways social media shapes the world IRL. There’s no better time than now to take on this beat, with TikTok overtaking Google as the internet’s most visited site, and the makers of Facebook and Instagram trying to move us into the metaverse. You’ll be instrumental in bringing to light new conversations around technology, from the shifting speech patterns of Gen Z to the rising influence of creators outside the social platforms they dominate, all reported via the people who are living these issues in real-time.
