Description

We are looking for a News Reporter to join our London office. You will report on data protection and privacy, artificial intelligence, social media regulation and other major legal and regulatory issues for Lexology PRO. We report on the investigations, litigation and policymaking that affect data – ranging from GDPR investigations to the global overhaul of artificial intelligence regulation.

The Lexology PRO data team is responsible for generating daily news and longer-form analysis that keeps our global subscription base of major law firms, companies, regulators and government departments up to date with key global developments. This is a unique opportunity to join an international team that reports on some of the most important topics facing the tech industry and business as a whole. Our reporters are well-regarded experts who spot opportunities to generate stories from courts, data, policy changes, and relationships with lawyers and policymakers. All members of the editorial team have opportunities to travel internationally.

You do not need specific experience of data protection or legal matters more generally – but we expect reporters to be able to structure a hard news story, have a nose for a good lead and an ability to network with senior decision-makers.

A journalism or legal qualification is preferable, but not at all necessary.

Who We Want

• A reporter or writer at the start of their career
• Someone who can understand complex topics and find accessible ways to report them
• A networker who can create a network of sources and contacts to support their work
• A fast worker who can hit short-term deadlines while working on longer-term projects
• A self-starter who can learn how to cover a critical and growing area of law and business and quickly start pitching valuable articles
  
  

Skills, Knowledge And Expertise

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• An aptitude for finding, pitching and reporting stories
• A confident self-starter
• Team-oriented and collaborative outlook
• Demonstrable interest in either business, law, journalism or current affairs
• An undergraduate or postgraduate degree or other qualification in law, journalism or a related subject would be beneficial but not necessary
