Agriculture Reporter, Winnipeg

Reuters seeks a driven reporter to join its Canada team to cover agriculture. It is a crucial time for agriculture commodities coverage as a fall in prices of the main grains hurts farmers worldwide. The right candidate will be as comfortable writing on price movements in canola, livestock, wheat and corn as producing scoops and investigative pieces on agriculture, farming and food supplies in Canada and around the world. You will be skilled at making sources with commodities traders and have sharp ideas on how agriculture intersects with trade, labor, climate change and other beats.

The job, based in Winnipeg, involves some travel in Canada and requires the winning candidate to work closely with the Chicago and global agriculture team and help guide the coverage of quarterly earnings of listed ag companies. The reporter should be comfortable working with visuals and graphics to help bring stories alive. Reuters requires all reporters to pitch original story ideas and to incorporate new reporting techniques and technology into their work.

The position is part of the wider Canada team and the reporter will be expected to occasionally work on top Canadian domestic stories, that could range from natural disasters, to covering strikes, and to other general news stories.
