Trainee Correspondent

With nearly 500 journalists, Bangalore is Reuters’ largest newsroom. It is at the centre of covering real-time news on companies, commodities, and economics. Bangalore is the seat of Reuters’ company news headlines team for North
America, UK, and the Asia Pacific region.

It is also the global Publishing hub for Reuters - where we curate news stories, pictures, graphics and video for financial readers. Add the fact that we cover stories on the Apple iPhone to AstraZeneca to HSBC to Toyota and everything in between, and you've got a bustling 24/7 bureau.

**About the role**:
As a Reuters journalist you should:

- Be comfortable with numbers to be able to cut through the corporate jargon to flesh out a top
- notch readable story
- Write stories that are accurate, fast (we don’t report yesterday’s news), and are fair (every story has two sides)
- Have the news judgment to differentiate between news that can make or break a company and PR speak - and be able to

prioritize news, analysis and views for an investment audience
- Have the ability to network and develop sources and contacts
- you will be talking to CEOs, company officials and PR

representatives, analysts at top broker houses
- Spot trends that can be written into big picture stories like features or analysis - Be able to rewrite headlines, news leads
and captions to suit audience requirements
- Have a strong interest and expertise in monitoring international news wires and other outlets, including social media

A trainee journalist will be required to gradually develop an expertise in a sector or an asset class (Company news, commodities news, or economics). Over time, you will be required to write/package unique, analytical and forward-looking pieces for a global audience.

And fight boring stories - every day.

**About you**:
We would prefer that you have: (Qualification)
A degree in Journalism or equivalent experience, but it’s not a must. A fair knowledge of corporate activity and stock markets (or at least the ability to gain such knowledge quickly)

What we absolutely cannot do without is:

- The ability to think clearly and write quickly
- Good grammar, spelling, and punctuation skills
- A level of comfort with handling figures and facts accurately and capability to digest financial data
- The willingness and ability to work under tight deadlines and in various shifts

Shifts: The Job involves working in shifts. Shifts could start as early as 6 am or as late as 11 pm.

Working days: Any 5 days a week (could include weekends)
