Wanted: a new economics writer
An opportunity to join the staff of The Economist
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 to begin with, but the successful candidate need not be British.
