Subject: [Politech] Job opening: Technology-politics reporter in  
Washington, DC


News.com seeks a reporter in Washington, DC to write about technology  
and politics.

This position will report to yours truly for day-to-day assignments.  
Because I'm moving to San Francisco starting August 1, we'd like to  
fill this position soon so I can work with the new reporter in person  
over the next few months (and virtually thereafter).

This will be a full-time position with benefits, and the candidate  
must live in Washington, DC or the nearby suburbs.

Last I checked, the job description has not been posted on the CNET  
Networks corporate site but the qualifications are similar to those  
of a News.com associate editor position:

http://careers.cnetnetworks.com/candidatebench/jobdetails.jsp? 
reqId=8873&type=ALL
"The ideal candidate will hold a college degree in English,  
journalism or a related field, as well as 1-3 years of writing or  
editing experience, preferably related to technology. Candidates  
should be familiar with AP style and with the rudiments of HTML.  
Experience in print or online publishing under tight deadlines is a  
plus. Candidates must have excellent English grammar skills, be  
detail-oriented, produce high-quality work and handle multiple tasks  
with speed and grace."

You can find general information about CNET hiring policies and  
company benefits here:

If you're interested, please send a resume and writing samples to  
declan.mccullagh/at/cnet.com with "DC JOB" in the Subject: line.  
Please do NOT include Microsoft Word or HTML attachments; instead,  
include a link to the documents or attach them as PDF files. Do not  
call. Only send email.

Please do not circulate this email message after July 8, 2005.

Thanks,
Declan
