The Straits Times is looking to hire experienced journalists for the following positions in Singapore:

Reporters
You have at least four years' experience in news reporting and news feature writing. You are well on your way to developing expertise in a specific area or beat, and your contacts feel confident that speaking to you will result in stories that are well-written, accurate and complete.

Assistant Editors
You will work closely with reporters, assigning them work, briefing them before they set out, guiding them and shaping the final, complete story. You have at least eight years' experience as a journalist and newsroom supervisor, and may have a special area of interest or expertise.

Copy Editors
You rewrite stories on deadline, adding that extra shine before they go into print. You are critical because you can take a good story and make it terrific in record time. You spot flaws and fix them, you do not tolerate jargon, and you know that the best stories are told in plain, clear English. When you have time to breathe, you coach writers.

Sub-Editors
You are an experienced journalist and your facility with the language comes through when you write a headline, caption a picture or trim a story. Accuracy is of utmost importance to you, because you are the last stop before a story goes into print. Or, you are a designer with flair, you make stories come to life on a page through your creative use of typography and how you crop a photograph.
