Fed & Tech Reporter

Washington Business Journal is hiring a reporter to cover the emerging and advanced tech that's driving substantial growth for the region and underpinning one of its biggest local industries: national security, cybersecurity, cloud computing, quantum computing, AI and the federal contracting industry. The DMV is rapidly becoming a hub for companies that work in these critical industries, as the federal government demands more tech expertise from the private sector, local universities and companies form new partnerships, billions of dollars flow to federal contractors large and small and local enterprises are snapped up in a flurry of M&A activity. This is an exceptional opportunity for a tech reporter who is interested in narrowing their focus and writing about the next-generation innovation sitting at the intersection of the public, private and academic sectors — but is able to translate its impact to the everyday reader.
