Want to be a reporter for the LA Times ?

Job opportunity: LA Times

Location: El Segundo, CA

The Los Angeles Times is looking for general assignment reporters to cover California.

The successful candidates will have the ability to juggle a variety of assignments and quickly become expert in a wide assortment of stories, from live breaking news to short-term enterprise reporting. This is the kind of job that could have you on the front lines of a brush fire, running to the scene of a shooting, diving into a short-term investigation off the news and doing re-write on breaking news. Hopefully not all in the same day, but you never know.

The reporters will work out of the El Segundo office but will frequently be dispatched across California to cover news. The ability to identify and execute breaking news is essential, as is a comfort with working on all our platforms and social media. The successful candidate must also be able to develop short-term enterprise stories that can publish and perfect from quick blog posts into front-page stories. The ability to collaborate with other reporters and members of The Times staff is also crucial because the job will require rewriting the work of other reporters, feeding on the field and working with the hub, graphics department, and photo on digital coverage.

Applicants should send a cover letter, resume and work samples to Shelby Grad at editjobs@latimes.com.
