1 week ago
**Job Description:**
The Wall Street Journal is seeking a Congress reporter in Washington, DC, to cover the politicians and policies that our readers care about most.
The ideal candidate will be someone with a deep knowledge of politics, Washington and Capitol Hill. In 2025, Congress could tackle some of the issues our readers care about most, including taxes, trade, health care, immigration, government spending, the debt ceiling, and financial regulation. And there will surely be some curveballs. This reporter will work with our excellent team to bring these debates to life, pulling back the curtain and revealing how Capitol Hill operates. The job will include a steady stream of ambitious features and will be expected to break news. Candidates should have five or more years experience writing news and feature stories, with clips that specifically demonstrate the ability to tell big, bold stories that everyone talks about.
The job will be on the politics team and be based in our Washington, DC office.
You will:
+ Break news.
+ Develop original enterprise stories.
+ Conceive, report and write must-read stories that require minimal editing.
+ Embrace video, audio and other non-text storytelling formats.
+ Find smart, unexpected insights that advance major breaking news events.
+ Work with colleagues to conceive and executive bigger projects and series.
You have:
+ At least five years of professional journalism experience.
+ An ability to develop sources at the highest levels
+ A demonstrated ability to separate from the pack and find original approaches to even the most commoditized stories.
+ Top-notch narrative writing skills.
+ A steady hand under deadline pressure.
+ An ability and desire to provide fresh insights.
