Forbes is hiring for its News Desk. The ideal candidate should be a news obsessive with a passion for thinking quickly and creatively off breaking news and emerging news stories.

And the ability to guide reporters on how best to find information, and think originally about the news, is key. The schedule for this role will be Saturday through Wednesday
Responsibilities:
Assign, edit and write on major news stories that make sense for a general Forbes audience, quickly turning around articles with sharp, story-advancing approaches and angles.
Identify topics and questions raised by news stories, and be able to clearly explain them through research and reporting.
Ability to spot fresh and interesting stories that have not already been widely shared.
Write multiple posts on a given topic every day.
Clearly communicate across Forbes' multiple editorial departments and contributors.
Write accurate, lively and concise posts.
Track down sources quickly for interviews when necessary.
Strong headline writing skills, and comfort with any/all social media platforms.
Strong interest in and basic knowledge of business news and financial coverage.
The Ideal Candidate:
Experience: 5-plus years as a full-time writer or editor.
Proven ability at writing quickly and accurately.
Outstanding writing, grammar and editing abilities.
An instinct and enthusiasm for advancing news stories, as well as writing stories that resonate with the target audience.
Understanding of the latest content trends and technologies, including content management systems like Wordpress, Social Media and SEO best practices.
The hourly rate for this role is $30.00 - $37.00
Forbes has estimated the compensation range set forth above in good faith. The compensation range is what we believe we will offer, and ultimately pay, a successful candidate. In determining this range, we consider the experience, level of education (if applicable to the role), knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be had by a successful candidate as well as the budget and the company's pay rates, generally.
