About the role
The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting. Founded in 1846, AP today remains the most trusted source of fast, accurate, unbiased news in all formats and the essential provider of the technology and services vital to the news business. More than half the world's population sees AP journalism every day.
The Associated Press seeks to hire a talented journalist with a track record of breaking and anchoring major stories to drive AP’s text coverage as part of a cross-formats reporting team covering Israel and the Palestinian territories. We’re looking for a reporter who will support the Middle East team’s efforts to produce distinct, deeply reported journalism that serves AP's wide-ranging set of customers across the globe.
Responsibilities:
Reporting to the news director for Israel and the Palestinian territories, you will aim to consistently break news, ensure the speedy filing of urgent spot developments, and support the team’s efforts to produce distinct, deeply reported enterprise. In this role, you will primarily be a fast-paced text reporter, gathering information from local media, social media and press conferences in real time. You’ll be expected to help guide and elevate the work of other AP journalists and freelancers contributing to our text report and coordinate with colleagues working in photo and video.
We're looking for someone who will:
- have strong communication skills and the ability to work quickly and collaboratively with the diverse team of journalists at the AP who operate in all formats: text, photo, video, audio, digital/social, interactive and graphics.
- have a great news sense, with the ability to communicate and drive stories that people will want to share, like and talk about on social media and other platforms.
- pursue innovative and inclusive coverage techniques while maintaining AP’s standards for integrity and objectivity.
Preferred qualifications:
You must have demonstrated excellence as a journalist covering a complex and challenging beat. You must be able to explain complex issues in clear and compelling ways, working swiftly and accurately on extremely tight deadlines. You must be able to work effectively as a member of a team and have a demonstrated ability to coach and edit others in their reporting and writing. You should be a self-starter, with excellent news judgment and a problem-solving attitude. You should have the ability and willingness to work any shift, including at night and on weekends, or as coverage demands, as AP is a 24/7 operation.
Required qualifications:
- Advanced-level professional competency in written and spoken English. Professional competency in Hebrew and/or Arabic is a plus.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, such as at least five years of full-time work as a journalist at a daily newspaper, broadcast station, online or digital news outlet, or an AP bureau or regional desk.
- Authorization to work in Israel will be mandatory.
We’ll 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.
Application deadline is December 2, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
