Reporter (Temporary Position)

Dow Jones Newswires is looking for a reporter to join its Barcelona newsroom on a fixed-term basis. This reporting team monitors corporate and economic news from across Europe using a variety of sources. In addition to headlines and stories, a major part of the role is to quickly analyze news and the signals it provides to investors. This takes the initial form of short, quick-fire analysis of market-moving corporate news, followed by slightly longer-form analysis items that include more detailed parsing of the event, and extends to more expansive and thematic items. Ideally, you will have some knowledge of what to look for in corporate earnings statements and press releases, and some familiarity with economic data, financial markets and regulation, and a strong interest in these areas. Demonstrable knowledge of how data can be used to find insights and underlying trends and as a key newsroom tool will be a distinct advantage.
