What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Reporter, Fashion and Retail position at New York Post?
Job Description
The New York Post provides readers with the best in News, Sports, Pop Culture and Entertainment – with signature wit, irreverence and authority. Over the past 225 years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.
The New York Post’s Lifestyle team is seeking a sharp, plugged-in Senior Reporter, Fashion and Retail (Sunday-Thursday) who will drive coverage of the biggest and most relevant fashion and retail stories in New York and beyond. This reporter will be completely plugged into the fashion and retail landscape in the country — and most importantly how that translates into reporting that people want to read, at scale. They will want to drive traffic as much as they want to lift the lid on the most interesting store openings and closings, trend explosions and characters at the heart of the culture.
The successful candidate will also know how to break the stories that everyone wants to read, as well as identify viral trends, and write them fast — and with flair. They will also be full of ideas about how to expand their storytelling into newsletters, videos and audio. If you thrive in a high-speed newsroom and have a sixth sense for what will make readers click, we want to hear from you.
Note: The shift for this role is Sunday-Thursday, 8am-4pm EST.
