Tech Editor, Social Media

The Wall Street Journal is looking for an accomplished and driven journalist to lead our coverage of the social media companies that are reshaping the way people interact and share information. You will guide a group of talented reporters in revealing the business dynamics and societal reverberations of companies including Facebook-parent Meta Platforms, TikTok, and Twitter, at a time when these institutions are being buffeted by digital-advertising upheaval and growing regulatory scrutiny, not to mention Elon Musk’s leap into the industry. This is an opportunity to play a vital role in the Journal’s San Francisco-based technology bureau, which has set the pace for reporting on social media in recent years with coverage including the award-winning Facebook Files series. The role requires someone who can help reporters to thrive on a fast-paced, intense subject area and deliver the full range of journalism that readers need: exclusive news, incisive analysis, and the deeply reported and distinctive stories that illuminate how these companies and their leaders operate.
