The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
The New York Times is looking for a talented, experienced and versatile reporter to join our Business team to cover technology in Asia. The contest between the United States and China for technological supremacy – spanning artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics and other emerging fields – is one of the defining stories of our time. We are looking for a journalist who can break news from companies and governments across Asia and translate complex technical developments into clear and compelling journalism for a broad audience. A firm understanding of the geopolitical context to technology is necessary. China will be central to the beat, reflecting its importance to the region and the global economy.
The ideal candidate is an energetic and determined beat reporter who thrives on competition and ambitious storytelling. The role calls for a rich mix of scoops, breaking news, analysis, explainers and enterprise reporting that reveals the forces reshaping technology, business and geopolitics. Although the reporting will begin in Asia, stories must draw wider global connections. The reporter will work closely with correspondents around the world and collaborate across Business, International, Breaking News, Video and Graphics, contributing to articles, live coverage, newsletters, audio, visual journalism and other formats.
This role will be based in the APAC region; the location of the role will be discussed with the recruiter during the interview process. The role will be part of the Technology Team on the Business Desk.
