Asia International Politics Journalist

I’m looking for a seasoned political reporter who can file compelling, well-sourced articles on international politics with a clear focus on Asia. Each piece should explain why a development in Beijing, Delhi, Seoul—or any other key Asian capital—matters to a global audience, weaving in data, expert commentary, and on-the-ground insights where possible. Scope • You’ll pitch story angles tied to breaking news or emerging trends and, once approved, deliver 800-1,200-word articles that balance context, analysis, and crisp narrative. • Turnaround is typically three to five days from assignment; quicker when a major story breaks. • Fact-checking, source attribution, and adherence to AP style (or similar) are mandatory. I will run every article through plagiarism and accuracy checks before publication. What will help you succeed • A track record covering Asian politics for reputable outlets. • Access to primary sources, data sets, and regional experts. • Familiarity with digital publishing workflows, including basic SEO and CMS use (WordPress preferred). Deliverables 1. Two to three headline ideas per assignment. 2. One polished, publication-ready article per commission, submitted in Google Docs with sources hyperlinked. 3. A brief email that highlights key takeaways and any follow-up angles. Acceptance criteria • All facts attributed to named or verifiable sources. • Reads fluently for an international English-speaking audience. • Delivered on or before the agreed deadline. If this sounds like your beat, send over a short bio plus one or two relevant clips, and let’s set up the first assignment.
