Correspondent, Technology, APAC

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for. The New York Times is looking for an experienced journalist to cover China. China’s transformation to geopolitical and economic colossus over the past several decades has bolstered its confidence at home and its influence abroad. Beijing has leveraged its might, both commercially and militarily, to redraw the terms of trade, security and diplomacy. Under Xi Jinping’s leadership, China has sought to offer a model of governance that challenges the liberal democratic order and the dominance of the United States. China is one of the biggest stories we cover, and one of the most challenging. It’s also one of the most exciting, a constantly changing and diverse country with few parallels on the planet. It touches nearly every major issue. Geopolitics. Demographics. Inequality. Climate Change. Trade. Technology. The role requires a strong writer with the ability to juggle breaking news, smart analysis and ambitious enterprise. We want someone eager to react quickly to news as necessary, but who is also able to write thoughtfully and deeply about important issues and events. We are looking for an entrepreneurial correspondent who can embrace the multitudes, to cover the news and the nuance. This position will be based in Beijing, China, or elsewhere in Asia. Main responsibilities: Demonstrate support and understanding of our values of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people under
