Business Insider editorial fellow, healthcare

Business Insider is hiring a paid editorial fellow to write about the business of healthcare.

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 healthcare team write about topics ranging from health insurers and drug companies to the medical potential of marijuana and magic mushrooms, all in the unique Business Insider style. They spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, writing, pitching and producing features — even breaking news if the timing is right. They have the opportunity to contribute to stories about things like biotech investing, primary care, addiction treatment, and aging.

All our editorial fellows should have:

• Experience reporting and writing (school publications are great)
• 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
• Light HTML and/or Photoshop experience
• Proofreading and copyediting skills

Additionally, for the healthcare team, we’re looking for someone with the following:

• An interest in covering healthcare from a business perspective
• Familiarity with the major stories in the healthcare space

This is an hourly 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 March or June.

Created for the digital generation, Business Insider is the largest business news site in the U.S. and one of the fastest-growing news brands in the world. We embrace the themes of positive change and innovation and use fast, fun, and informative storytelling to cover the business, tech, and finance news stories you need to know to work, play and live better.
