Higher Education Technology Reporter

Inside Higher Ed, the leading source for news, commentary and analysis about higher education, seeks an enterprising, creative reporter to join its team of talented journalists and fill a key beat covering the evolving role of technology and other innovations in higher education.

The technology reporter covers a wide range of issues focused on how technology and other innovation is reshaping an industry in transition, exploring the cultural as well as practical implications of those changes. Just a few of the issues on this reporter's agenda: the continuing spread of online (and blended) education, technology privacy and security, colleges' experiments (with and without technology) to help students navigate through college, and the emergence of new digital credentials (at traditional institutions and alternative education providers).

Inside Higher Ed engages in authoritative journalism that provides a mix of news, enterprise and analysis. Our reporters mix beat reporting, analysis and creative approaches to telling stories; candidates should be able to juggle multiple articles at once, and should like to dig deeply and to learn. Candidates should have at least three years of full-time professional reporting experience; a background covering technology (for the technology position) and/or higher education is a plus. 

Inside Higher Ed publishes breaking news, features, commentary, blogs and other content (including audio and video) each weekday, and has quickly established itself as an authoritative, independent voice for its 3.5 million unique monthly users and 180,000 daily e-mail subscribers. 

Inside Higher Ed offers competitive pay, good benefits (including heavily subsidized health, dental and life insurance premiums), and 18 days' paid time off plus federal holidays. Centrally located in downtown D.C. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, resume and five strong clips to jobs@insidehighered.com or by mail to:
