Senior Reporter, News Features

Job Description :

The New York Post delivers the best in news, sports, entertainment and pop culture with wit, irreverence, and authority. Over the past 225+ years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.

We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Reporter to join our News Features team, reporting high-impact investigations, exclusives and deep dives into current events. Our highly-focused team leads the news cycle rather than following, and exposes what’s really going on behind the front-page headlines.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with a proven track record of producing in-depth stories and news exclusives which have moved the cultural needle and who is bursting with ideas. 

Responsibilities:

• Break exclusives, identifying and producing angles that others miss
• Turn around high quality, properly sourced stories on tight deadlines
• You should be equally comfortable chasing enterprise investigative projects and jumping into fast-breaking developments, always finding the sharpest angle and the most compelling way to tell the story
• Pitch fresh ideas multiple times a week — staying ahead of the curve and also creatively reacting to the news cycle
• Maintain the highest standards in reporting, ensuring accuracy and an understanding of journalistic ethics and legal standards (including source protection, verification and libel and defamation)
• This position involves some domestic travel

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of newsroom experience, with a strong focus on features writing and breaking exclusives
• Ability to produce sparkling, thorough and accurate copy on deadline
• A bright, clean writing voice and nimble talent for picking up the signature Post attitude and style
• An instinctive knack for getting anyone to talk, and the ability to verify what they say

Preferred Qualifications:

• An understanding of and ability to locate court filings and financial, business and real estate records to support exclusive reporting
• On-camera and/or social content creator experience

Note: The New York Post adheres to an on-site work model (subject to change based on business needs). The shift schedule for this position is Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. EST.
