Insider is hiring a paid editorial fellow to produce videos about travel.
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 leave ready for the next phase of their journalism careers. For more information on the Insider Fellowship Program, see here.
Fellows on our travel team spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, pitching and writing scripts for videos on topics including what things look like around the world, the world's best destinations to try/find something, and ultimate lists of bucket-list items. Video-writing fellows work closely with video editors, but they do not need to have video-editing experience. We're looking for ambitious reporters who can find and chase great stories and relay them to our audience in a compelling way.
All our video-writing fellows should have:
Experience reporting and writing (school publications are okay)
A passion for digital storytelling and voracious reading habits
Familiarity with digital and social media
Ability to work quickly and collaboratively with a fast-paced team
Proofreading and copyediting skills
Additionally, for the travel team, we're looking for someone with the following:
An interest in covering topics such as universal topics around the world
Script-writing or video production experience
Ability to source footage and make relationship with content owners
This is a paid fellowship based out of our New York office. Fellows are encouraged to work 40 hours a week, and fellowships run for six months. Start date for this position will be in September.
