The International Herald Tribune has two openings on its business copy desk in Hong Kong. Please note that these are NOT intended as overseas postings for U.S.-based employees, and The Times will not offer relocation or expatriate benefits to any of its copy editors who might apply. “Nevertheless, we want to make you aware of what’s going on at the I.H.T.,” Alan Flippen writes in an e-mail, “in the spirit of newsroom integration and in case you know anyone from outside the company who might be a good fit for these jobs.”
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Len Apcar, lapcar@iht.com. Read on for the qualifications.
The International Herald Tribune is looking for experienced copy editors to work in Hong Kong for its expanding Asian edition. You will work with a team of dedicated, hard-working editors and correspondents from The New York Times-Herald Tribune family to offer our readers a well-edited, must-read newspaper six mornings a week and a 24-hour Web report. We expect you to know how to smooth copy, write inviting heads and make solid news judgments about international developments. We value energetic professionals who want the challenge of living abroad and are excited by the Asia story.
We have permanent positions immediately available and invite candidates to apply for a one-week tryout. Experience in Asia and business journalism a plus. Interested? Send your resumes to: asiaresumes@iht.com.
