Job Opening: Copy Editor for Dow Jones Tokyo
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.

This is an integrated Newswires/Journal bureau, and this editor will help shape coverage for all of our news outlets: the wire, the paper, and the web. At a time when many major media companies are cutting back in Japan, WSJ/DJ is actively expanding with new staff and new products, such as a Japanese-language site (jp.wsj.com/) and our Japan RealTime blog (blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/).

The position offers ample vacation time and competitive remuneration consistent with Fortune 500 companies.

Please contact Japan Editor Jacob Schlesinger by email at jacob.schlesinger@wsj.com, or apply at this link: www.dowjones.com/careers and search for job number 000102135.
