Do you follow the green energy transition taking place in Southeast Asia, from investments in renewables to electrification of transportation to cleaner industry in major cities? Do you wonder if the Belt and Road Initiative will lead to greener infrastructure, or whether it will build in the use of more fossil fuel for decades?

have a great news sense, with the ability to communicate and drive stories that people will want to share on social media and other platforms.
pursue innovative and inclusive coverage that maintains AP’s standards for integrity and objectivity.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

Medical Reporter (Newsperson) (US)

The Associated Press seeks a talented medical reporter to be based in any U.S. city.

We’re looking for a collaborative reporter who will work closely with AP colleagues in the U.S. and across the world to consistently break news and produce enterprise stories built for digital audiences. You will contribute to AP’s coverage of health and medical news, with a focus on cancer, genetics, advances in understanding how the human body works – and biology more broadly.

Our ideal candidate is someone who has a deep interest in health and medicine, who looks critically at the news of the day, who can make complicated subjects approachable and understandable, who can make connections between science and real people’s lives, and who can bring stories about medical discoveries to life. This is a staff position covered by AP’s agreement with the News Media Guild. This temporary, grant-funded position lasts through August 31, 2026.

Responsibilities: As an AP reporter, you will work in multiple media formats and collaborate with diverse teams of journalists in text, photo, video, audio, digital/social, interactive and graphics. Reporting to the global health and science editor, you will generate story ideas that resonate both in the United States and around the world. The position may involve occasional travel, and the successful candidate should be prepared to leave on short notice as news needs arise. You should also be able and willing to work any shift, including at night and on weekends, or as coverage demands, as AP is a 24/7 operation.

We’re looking for someone who:

Is willing to jump in on spot news as well as enterprise.
Understands digital audiences and is open to using different formats and techniques to explain complex concepts for mainstream readers.
Likes to work collaboratively as part of a team of journalists, reporters and editors.
Has a great news sense, with the ability to communicate stories that people will want to share on social media and other platforms.
Will pursue innovative and inclusive coverage techniques while maintaining AP’s standards for integrity and objectivity.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, such as at least five years of full-time newsroom experience.
Authorization to work in the United States.
Advanced-level professional competency in written and spoken English. Professional competency in another language is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications: A track record of writing about health and medical-related issues is preferred. You should have excellent interpersonal skills and be eager to learn from mentors across the organization. You should have strong organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple projects across formats and deliver success on complex, challenging story lines.

We will consider strong candidates who do not meet every listed qualification. You may use a cover letter to describe the unique qualifications you would bring to this role.

The annual salary for this position will be between $85,214 and $105,000 based on skills, qualifications and market location. Employees are eligible to participate, according to the terms of the official plan documents, in a 401(k) plan and employer-sponsored health insurance plan, and are eligible for paid time off and holidays in accordance with AP policy.

The Associated Press offers comprehensive benefits which include:

Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage
Retirement benefits
Company paid life insurance
Paid vacation and sick days
Paid parental leave for any new parent
Mental health resources

Benefits may vary based on the job, full-time or part-time schedule, location, and collectively bargained status.
