Our biggest stories, and greatest crises, are now global: from climate change to pandemics, rising inequality to supply chain disruption, political instability to the influence of social media.

Enter Semafor. We are a team of deeply-experienced journalists and media professionals laser focused on providing a global audience with an unparalleled level of journalistic transparency; through innovative new forms, cutting through the noise of the news cycle with smart, distilled views, and exploring competing perspectives across borders.

About the Role
We’re looking for an early-career journalist with experience reporting on technology or the business of technology to fill a paid position as a Tech Newsroom Fellow. The fellow will work closely with Semafor’s San Francisco-based Tech Editor to work on original stories, produce the twice-weekly tech newsletter, and contribute to our breaking news and Signals coverage. The position also entails production tasks, including monitoring news, writing fixtures and creating charts for the newsletter, and helping build, produce, and publish it on deadline.
Ideal candidates are self-starters, keen to get involved in a growing newsroom, and to contribute in any and all ways, including administrative tasks, research, producing newsletters, and creating data visualizations to accompany our publications. Knowledge of, and experience in, covering tech or the business of tech is essential.
