The Dow Jones Newswires/Wall Street Journal Tokyo is looking for an ambitious journalist to join its markets team as a Japan stock market reporter, covering Asia's biggest equity market as it is buffeted by the cross-currents of a strong yen, slow domestic growth and strong regional expansion. The 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. While the initial assignment is for equities, there are also opportunities for reporting in both foreign exchange and fixed income markets.
The person will also write longer stories on key market developments and trends, chase corporate and other business news, and interview executives and policymakers. We're looking for a candidate who can generate scoops: a markets reporter is in a prime position to break news as they spot market trends, from equities to derivatives.
Many of the reporter's stories will be published online at WSJ.com and by the Wall Street Journal -- the Tokyo bureau is integrated between Newswires and The Journal. The reporter will also have the opportunity to write posts on and off the beat for WSJ.com's guide to what makes Japan tick - the Japan Real Time blog. (blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/).
Experience with financial journalism, and specific experience covering markets preferred. Knowledge of Japanese is essential.
