Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of law, culture, technology, and politics. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.

News.com seeks a reporter in Washington, DC to write about technology 
and politics.

This position will report to yours truly for day-to-day assignments. 
Because I'm moving to San Francisco starting August 1, we'd like to fill 
this position soon so I can work with the new reporter in person over 
the next few months (and virtually thereafter).

This will be a full-time position with benefits, and the candidate must 
live in Washington, DC or the nearby suburbs.

Last I checked, the job description has not been posted on the CNET 
Networks corporate site but the qualifications are similar to those of a 
News.com associate editor position:

http://careers.cnetnetworks.com/candidatebench/jobdetails.jsp?reqId=8873&type=ALL
"The ideal candidate will hold a college degree in English, journalism 
or a related field, as well as 1-3 years of writing or editing 
experience, preferably related to technology. Candidates should be 
familiar with AP style and with the rudiments of HTML. Experience in 
print or online publishing under tight deadlines is a plus. Candidates 
must have excellent English grammar skills, be detail-oriented, produce 
high-quality work and handle multiple tasks with speed and grace."

If you're interested, please send a resume and writing samples to 
declan.mccullagh/at/cnet.com with "DC JOB" in the Subject: line. Please 
do NOT include Microsoft Word or HTML attachments; instead, include a 
link to the documents or attach them as PDF files. Do not call. Only 
send email.

Please do not circulate this email message after July 8, 2005.

Thanks,
Declan
