We are looking for a News Reporter to join Global Competition Review (GCR) in our London office.
GCR is a world-leading antitrust news service, trusted by major government agencies and the wider legal industry to provide timely
insight on key enforcement and policy developments.
Our UK-based reporters work with colleagues in Brussels, Hong Kong and the US to produce exclusive stories that move the needle
for our global audience. You’ll be part of a talented team that contributes to one of our two daily news alert emails, covering
international competition enforcement, litigation and policy developments. You’ll gain access to leading decision-makers in
private practice and government while progressing on-diary and off-diary stories. Often what we write about is covered by the
mainstream press – meaning we have to dig deeper and ask the questions other experts haven’t yet thought to ask. You will report
from UK courtrooms and legal conferences, the latter of which provides substantial opportunities for international travel.
This is a unique opportunity to develop as a reporter. You'll cover a highly specialist beat that is becoming increasingly
relevant to some of the world’s most important policy debates while honing your skills in a collegiate environment that celebrates
success.
GCR reporters carve out successful, rewarding careers at the company and across the industry. Our journalists have plenty of
opportunities to progress within the team and take on additional responsibility, often choosing to stay at the company for several
years as they advance to senior correspondent and editor roles. Former reporters have also gone on to work for The Independent,
The Guardian, Mail Online and The Daily Telegraph.
