Jobs Comments Off on Jobs: Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires (Tokyo)
Request received directly from Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires (Tokyo) (where notably a number of JET alums work or have worked):
Steven:
Thanks very much for your offer to help me spread the word about opportunities in The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires Tokyo bureau.
At a time when other American media are cutting back in Japan, we’re expanding. We’ve created a new Japanese language website and a new Japan RealTime blog. We’ve got a number of openings, due both to newly created positions and to vacancies. I’m biased, of course, but I think this is a uniquely incredible chance for anybody interested in Japan journalism.
We’ve recently integrated The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires bureaus here, so everybody works for both. Everyone writes for the paper, WSJ.com, and the wires. Our openings span a wide range of experience levels and subjects. We’re looking for managers, reporters, and desk editors for beats ranging from policy to markets to finance. The main criterion we have is a very strong preference for people who can report — do interviews, attend press conferences, read documents — in Japanese. That’s why I’m tapping into your network. We’ve had great success with JET alums who can work in Japanese at the highest levels.
Anybody who’s interested in finding out more can contact me at: jacob.schlesinger@wsj.com. Also, below are some specific listings, with online application links.
Best,
Japan Editor, The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires.
Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Tokyo finance reporter:
This reporter will cover finance, M&A, and broader capital market trends in one of the world’s leading economies for WSJ. The ideal candidate will have a proven track-record of scoops. Japanese fluency preferred. The Journal Tokyo bureau is integrated with Dow Jones Newswires, and this reporter will work closely with the DJN team, filing in real-time for wires and the web, as well as for the paper.
Application link: https://newscorp.taleo.net/careersection/djexternal/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=000101957
Dow Jones Newswires/Wall Street Journal Tokyo economy/economic policy reporter:
This reporter will join our economics team, covering economic reports, and fiscal and monetary policy. The ideal candidate will have some background and knowledge of the subject and some journalism experience. Japanese fluency preferred. The job will involve the full spectrum of news reporting: flashing headlines and filing stories in real-time for Newswires and WSJ.com, as well as writing news and feature stories for the newspaper.
Application link: https://newscorp.taleo.net/careersection/djexternal/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=000102065
Dow Jones Newswires/Wall Street Journal Tokyo markets reporter
This reporter will write about all aspects of the Tokyo shares market, including blue chips and companies in the news, derivatives, and the Nikkei 225 Stock Average. The main responsibility will be giving investment professionals real-time, comprehensive intelligence on the Tokyo stock market, via Market Talk. One of Newswires’ most popular services, Market Talk provides readers with a constant stream of short, analytical items on newsworthy market events–the stock reporter can expect to do several of these items an hour while the exchange is open. This person will also write longer stories on key market developments and trends. Many of the reporter’s stories will be published online at WSJ.com and by the Wall Street Journal. Experience with financial journalism, and specific experience covering markets preferred. Knowledge of Japanese is essential.
Application link:https://newscorp.taleo.net/careersection/djexternal/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=000102356
Dow Jones Newswires/Wall Street Journal Tokyo deputy bureau chief, money/policy:
As deputy Tokyo bureau chief for money/policy in the integrated DJN/WSJ office, this person will run coverage of the Japanese economy and economic policy, managing a group of reporters following the Bank of Japan, the Ministry of Finance, the Prime Minister’s office, and the Diet. S/he will craft ideas and edit/file stories, from flashing headlines and real-time fills for Newswires and WSJ.com, to handling news and feature stories for the newspaper. We’re looking in particular for a candidate with a proven track record of breaking market-moving news and analysis in these crucial areas. This manager will also be responsible for mentoring the team, helping develop further their reporting and writing skills. Japanese fluency strongly preferred.
Application link: https://newscorp.taleo.net/careersection/djexternal/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=000101681
Dow Jones Newswires/Wall Street Journal Tokyo copy editor:
The Dow Jones Newswires/Wall Street Journal Tokyo bureau is seeking a copy editor to join our news desk. The ideal candidate will have the right mix of experience in the field of journalism, knowledge of financial markets, and Japanese language ability. More importantly, we’re looking for someone who has a keen attention to detail, a knack for tracking down the top news of the day, and skill at multitasking. We’d like an editor who can turn an ordinary news article into the extraordinary on an extremely tight deadline. This position would be perfect for an experienced veteran or someone looking to gain a foothold in the fast-paced world of financial journalism.
