Job Description:
he Wall Street Journal seeks an accomplished and agile reporter to help cover the U.S. housing market. The reporter will find distinctive, original stories, deftly mixing knowledge of data and policies with on-the-ground reporting in communities across the country.
Housing stories are consistently among the Journal's best read and hit the intersection of real estate, the economy and finance. They offer an enterprising reporter the chance to delve into these fields, as well as local politics, immigration trends, emerging technologies, and anything else that is driving home prices and shaping where people want to live.
The successful candidate will have a passion for the subject and a demonstrated ability to generate story ideas and translate in-depth reporting into compelling storytelling accessible to a broad readership. You should be eager to collaborate with other reporters across bureaus.
You will:

• Cultivate sources and break news, delivering scoops and analysis that separate your work from the pack. Your writing will be revelatory to both a general audience and those well-versed in the housing market and real estate.
• Deliver ambitious enterprise stories that start conversations and set agendas. Become an expert on the housing market and conceive of feature ideas and report them out.
• Collaborate with colleagues in New York and across the U.S. while reporting on a range of topics, including the rental market, home builders and investors buying homes to rent out

You have:

• A track record of dominating a beat and producing scoops and enterprise ahead of the competition.
• A demonstrated ability to tackle ambitious projects and find original approaches to coverage, and the motivation to work independently when needed.
• Preferably, 4 to 6 years of experience.

The position ideally will be based in New York, and will report to Real Estate Bureau Chief Craig Karmin.
To apply, please submit a resume, cover letter and examples of your work by Sept. 15.
The Journal's reporters, editors, developers, and audio and visual journalists create important and impactful stories, firmly rooted in fact and adhering to the highest ethical standards. We report without fear or bias, and we maintain a proper sense of perspective, detachment and objectivity in our reporting.
