VIDEO: writing fellow, travel

Editorial | New York, NY | Internship

Job Description
INSIDER is hiring a paid editorial fellow to write and 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 video team spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, sourcing footage, pitching and writing scripts for videos on topics including travel, food, and art. They have the opportunity to contribute to videos like Inside the World’s Largest Cruise Ship 
 and 49 of the Most Beautiful Places in the World.

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 travel, both international and domestic and travel industry trends
  • Script-writing or video production experience
  • An eye for great visuals that fit the social video aesthetic

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 June.

INSIDER is great journalism about what passionate people actually want to know. That’s everything from news to food, celebrity to science, politics to sports and all the rest. It’s smart. It’s fearless. It’s fun. We push the boundaries of digital storytelling. Our mission is to inform and inspire.

APPLY HERE with a resume and cover letter telling us why you want to be our video-writing fellow for travel. Applications are due March 1.
