We are looking for an energetic and brilliant senior writer who can combine tenacious fact-getting with elegant writing to produce in-depth reported features that break lines in a gripping narrative. An ability to demonstrate both reporting and writing skill is key, and the best mix of both will see the right candidate entrusted with high priority stories and projects for the paper both light and dark in tone. The ability to suggest engaging reported feature subjects, and the lines to pursue, is the third key attribute we are looking for.
Job Responsibility
Reporting on, and writing, a range of features, with a focus on in-depth narrative pieces where we are looking to break new ground
An ability to report on the ground as well as from the office, identifying, suggesting and pursuing potentially fruitful lines of enquiry, gathering vox-pops and interviews and uncovering new information, to form the basis of written pieces
Shaping that information into elegant, detailed pieces that hook the readers then keep them gripped to the end
Suggesting ideas to the features team both for stories to pursue yourself, and ideas for others
Working with others - eg the investigations team, news reporters, other feature writers - on stories that, whether through time imperatives or scale, require a team effort
Requirements
Brilliant reporting skills, with an ability to uncover new facts
An ability to shape that information into compelling pieces
An ability to suggest features and see lines and angles to take in covering them
