About the Role

The Information is looking for an energetic and well-sourced reporter to cover the technology landscape across Asia.

• Participate on TITV, the publication’s daily live video program, to talk through your reporting and other relevant developments in your beat.
• Contribute to additional newsroom projects, including initiatives such as The Information 50.
