Company Name : Employment Opportunities at BuzzFeed
Location : New York, NY
Position : Editorial Fellow, BuzzFeed.com
Job Description : About BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed is the world’s leading tech-powered, diversified media company that reaches hundreds of millions of people globally through its cross-platform news and entertainment network. We produce articles, lists, quizzes, videos, and original series; lifestyle content through brands including Tasty, the world’s largest social food network; original reporting and investigative journalism through BuzzFeed News and HuffPost; original pop culture and entertainment programming through Complex Networks; an industry-leading affiliate business, strategic partnerships, licensing and product development through BuzzFeed Commerce; and original productions across broadcast, cable, SVOD, film and digital platforms for BuzzFeed Studios.
The Role
The BuzzFeed Fellowship is a year-long program for aspiring and hungry writers eager to hone their skills, and to learn by doing. The program is a crash course in how to consistently write stories that capture readers’ attention, push the cultural conversation forward, and reach a massive audience.
Fellows need a keen eye for finding new and interesting stories happening both on and offline as well as a grasp of the nuanced cultural conversations happening all over the internet. We’re looking for people who are fascinated by social media, human psychology, and trends of all kinds. On any given day, you might be researching behind-the-scenes facts and Easter eggs about a trending piece of pop culture, crafting a clever quiz about generational identity, or explaining a random viral TikTok conversation.
Fellows will work with and learn from members of the BuzzFeed team — some of the smartest, weirdest, most creative, and most viral writers out there. This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in pursuing a career in writing. You won’t be running errands for senior staff, or transcribing someone else’s interviews, you will be pitching ideas, brainstorming, collaborating, and writing dozens of stories that will be published to BuzzFeed.com and promoted across our social channels. The Fellowship is fun and inspiring, but also fast-paced and challenging.
This is a paid position (starting at $18/hour). The Fellowship allows for candidates to work fully remote in select locations, but there will also be opportunities to work from our NY or LA location when offices are safely reopened.
The deadline to apply for this Fellowship is April 18, 2022 by 5pm EST. All application materials will need to be submitted when you apply. The intended (and tentative) start date for this Fellowship is May 16, 2022.
You Have
We’re looking for culture and internet obsessives with a passion for the things people are sharing, liking, recommending and talking about. You should also have:
A positive, curious, playful disposition
A genuine, wide-eyed love of lifestyle and internet trends in all their forms
An interest in social platforms and what drives people to share content on the web
Curiosity and excitement about social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, Tumblr, etc.)
In addition, you should demonstrate the following:
Some experience writing content for the internet (it doesn’t have to be formal — anything from published articles to creative Twitter threads to personal blogs)
Ability to quickly identify social trends and topics
Ability to handle critical feedback and improve from it
Eagerness to collaborate
Ability to interpret key audience data points relating to your work and use it to adapt and evolve your approach moving forward
Experience with design or illustration tools is a plus
FYI — job descriptions are not a one size fits all, just because you don’t meet every requirement doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear from you. If you think you’d be a good fit for the job anyway, use your application to show us why!
To Apply
Please submit the following when applying to be an Editorial Fellow:
Instead of a formal cover letter, please include a few short paragraphs about what topics you’d want to write about for BuzzFeed, and what about the site interests you.
Create a BuzzFeed.com/community profile, and create 2-3 posts that reflect your voice and interests. Only one of the posts can be a quiz! When you submit your posts, include “This is for the Editorial Fellowship.” in the description. You’ll be asked to provide the links to your posts when you complete the application. SO, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR COMMUNITY POSTS PRIOR TO COMPLETING THIS APPLICATION! We encourage you to check our Trending page to see examples of posts that reflect what we’re looking for, and to take note of the variety of topics and formats.
Provide links to your public social media accounts.
Attach a resume — keep it to one page!
