News.com seeks a reporter in Washington, DC to write about technology and politics. This position will report to yours truly for day-to-day assignments. Because I'm moving to San Francisco starting August 1, we'd like to fill this position soon so I can work with the new reporter in person over the next few months (and virtually thereafter). This will be a full-time position with benefits, and the candidate must live in Washington, DC or the nearby suburbs. Last I checked, the job description has not been posted on the CNET Networks corporate site but the qualifications are similar to those of a News.com associate editor position: http://careers.cnetnetworks.com/candidatebench/jobdetails.jsp?reqId=8873&type=ALL "The ideal candidate will hold a college degree in English, journalism or a related field, as well as 1-3 years of writing or editing experience, preferably related to technology. Candidates should be familiar with AP style and with the rudiments of HTML. Experience in print or online publishing under tight deadlines is a plus. Candidates must have excellent English grammar skills, be detail-oriented, produce high-quality work and handle multiple tasks with speed and grace." You can find general information about CNET hiring policies and company benefits here: http://www.cnetnetworks.com/careers/?tag=cnetfd.ft If you're interested, please send a resume and writing samples to declan.mccullagh/at/cnet.com with "DC JOB" in the Subject: line. Please do NOT include Microsoft Word or HTML attachments; instead, include a link to the documents or attach them as PDF files. Do not call. Only send email. Please do not circulate this email message after July 8, 2005. Thanks, Declan _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
