Business Insider is hiring breaking news reporters

If you're a diehard news junkie and social media obsessive, you could be the perfect fit Business Insider's Breaking News Reporter position.

• Interprets news quickly and writes at lightning speed
• Produces clean, clear copy
• Lives for the thrill of getting faves on Twitter and likes on Instagram and Facebook

This is an entry-level role, and ideal for anyone who wants to jump into a fast-paced reporting role at a growing digital media company.
