Reporter, Autos

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a seasoned reporter to join our autos team in Detroit. This is a fast-paced, news-heavy beat with ample opportunity to write about a wide-range of topics, from surging car prices to new automated-driving technologies and changes on the factory floor. The auto industry is going through immense technological change, as automakers pivot to electric vehicles and the battery technology that will power them. Younger auto companies are challenging the dominance of more-established ones, and new global supply chains are taking shape as EVs become a bigger priority for the sector. The upheaval at nearly every point in the car business provides opportunities for scoops and deep storytelling. We are looking for a reporter who can cut through the hype, hold companies accountable and find unique storylines that set our coverage apart.
