VIDEO: producing fellow, Tech Insider

Business Insider is hiring a paid editorial fellow to produce videos about technology.

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 Tech Insider team spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, pitching, writing, shooting, and editing videos on topics including Apple, Tesla, space exploration, and anything else related to technology. They have the opportunity to contribute to videos like How To Drive A Firetruck and How Sony Created The Perfect Video Game Controller. Producing fellows work closely with other writers, editors, and producers to create videos for a wide audience across the web and various social media platforms. Candidates should be familiar with our existing videos and eager to contribute work in our style. 

All potential candidates should have:

• Experience reporting and writing (school publications are okay)

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 March or June.
