Insider Inc. is hiring a paid editorial fellow to tell photo-driven stories on a variety of topics like food, travel, retail, lifestyle, science and health, real estate, and everything in between.
The Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists. Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling. They produce real work that is distributed to our audience of millions, and by the end of six months are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. For more information on the Insider Fellowship Program, see here.
Fellows on our visual features team will combine their reporting with photography to tell stories in the reader-friendly, photo-heavy format that Business Insider and Insider are known for.

In this position, you can expect to tell stories like these:
• Excellent writing, communication, and time management skills
• Experience reporting, writing, and shooting (school publications are great)
• Skill with a smartphone camera as well as a DSLR — comfort in front of the camera is a plus
• Comfort with photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop
• An ability to identify the heart of a story quickly and weave a narrative through photos and text
• Ability to work quickly, efficiently, and collaboratively
• Familiarity with digital and social media
• Proofreading and copyediting skills a plus
