The Economist is looking to hire a writer to join its economics team. Journalistic experience is not necessary. The ability to write clearly and entertainingly is, however, crucial, as is a thorough understanding of economics and the ability to work with data. At first the writer will cover Europe. We would prefer the job to be based in London at least at first, but the successful candidate need not be British.
Applicants should send a CV and a sample article, suitable for publication in The Economist, to: [email protected] Your article could be on macro- or microeconomics, or on political economy; it need not be about Europe. It should be unpublished and no longer than 700 words. Some examples of our economics coverage are listed below. The deadline is October 17th.
Example economics coverage
- What does the ECB’s new target mean in practice?
- The EU proposes a carbon tariff on some imports
- Does perishable e-money represent the future of fiscal stimulus?
- Will surprisingly high global inflation last?
- What history tells you about post-pandemic booms
- How an auction is helping Britain’s turtle doves
- America’s banks have too much cash
