Description:
Main duties involve assisting the Yomiuri Shimbun's New York-based Japanese business correspondent by covering events, conferences, company earnings calls, financial markets; tracking relevant stories, arranging and conducting interviews, doing research, and coming up with story ideas. One area of special focus is big tech (Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple) and issues connected to artificial intelligence.

In addition to reporting on business and covering financial markets, you may at times have to cover other areas (including national politics, sports, etc.). Some transcription / synopsizing of press conferences and earnings calls is also required. Since the articles are written in Japanese, there are no byline opportunities for this position.
