Position Type: Full Time
About the Role: The Huffington Post is looking for a reporter who is fluent in Greek and English to embed with the HuffPost Greece team in their Athens office. This journalist will monitor Greek-language news coverage in order to create English-language multimedia content including -- but not limited to -- hard news, analysis, features, expert interviews, timelines, infographics, viral content, photo posts and videos. The reporter will work alongside the HuffPost Greece team, often to co-byline pieces, and report back up to the HuffPost team in the United States to supply coverage for our 14 editions around the globe in Brazil, Canada, Germany, Greece, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Maghreb, Spain, the United Kingdom and the U.S.
Requirements for Success:
* Fluent in Greek and English.
* Follow major news developments in Greece; be equally passionate about international affairs and the latest social media buzz.
* Be able to write about economics, monetary policy creation and EU institutional framework. This candidate will ideally have experience covering both financial regulation and economics, and have or be able to develop relevant sources.
* Have rock-solid news judgment. Know when a story matters, when it doesn't -- and why.
* Have a high-level hoax detector, a healthy dose of skepticism and steadfast gut instincts. Know how to spot an imposture, a hoax or spin from a mile away.
* Be level-headed during even the most fast-moving, high-pressure news events.
* Write and edit impeccably. Honor the value of clarity, accuracy and speed.
* Always, always, always strive to move a story forward.
* Use videos, images, graphics and interactives as key tools. Have a demonstrated track-record of visual storytelling.
* Understand how to write an engaging story that gets to the core of who, what, when and why it matters. Spot little details that make a story stand out.
* Obsess over new storytelling techniques. Experiment and innovate.
* Use analytics tools to spot trends.
* Know how to craft a shareable and clickable headline.
* World news doesn’t follow office hours. Know that going in and be willing to follow an important storyline when necessary.
* Be able to balance both daily and enterprise projects.
* Be a team player and a joy to work with. Teamwork is core to who we are at HuffPost.
