Newsquest London is seeking three AI-assisted reporters to join our team and help us expand our use of AI across our portfolio of websites, delivering first-class digital news covering the capital. The successful candidate will be at the forefront of a new era in journalism, utilising AI technology to create national, local, and hyper‑local content, while also applying their traditional journalism skills and news sense and working as part of our team either remotely or from our central London office.
These are exciting opportunities for reporters who are passionate about journalism and the potential for AI to contribute to the way we produce and consume news, without losing sight of the importance of quality reporting and writing.

The roles would suit either trainees or senior reporters.
As an AI-assisted reporter, you will have the opportunity to develop your news and technical skills, including learning how to manage and utilise AI technology effectively while employing your core journalistic skills to the sourcing, selection, angle and presentation of your digital content. A whole host of audience and content analytics will aid you in refining and perfecting your content to meet the needs of audiences and drive growth.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring that our articles meet the highest standards of accuracy, information, and compliance with media law, plagiarism, and privacy, utilising your journalistic expertise alongside AI tools.
