Axios Reporter, News at Axios responsible for real-time news surveillance and quick-turn writing of spot news stories. The role includes editing national news and monitoring key story developments.
Responsibilities
We are after people with a “see it, write it” mentality who have a personal passion for news and a fast-twitch set of journalistic reflexes.
This is a job for the news junkies who “monitor the situation” for fun and want to do it for a living.
We operate at one cadence - do it right now - and are after people who marry a love of news with the thrill of being busy.
This is the ultimate “safe pair of hands” job — someone we can trust to both edit the work of others and write their own, too.
