Weekend Business News Reporting Fellowship (Summer 2023)

Insider is hiring a weekend reporting fellow for Summer 2023 to cover trending business news. The U.S.-based fellow would join a team covering the most compelling and impactful business stories of the day across a variety of industries, including tech, retail, and transportation. 

The fellow would write about major companies, including Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Apple, and more. Fellows may also write about travel, real estate, business personalities, innovations like 3D-printed homes, and the latest trends emerging on TikTok. They will spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, writing, pitching, and interviewing. This fellow would operate on a Wednesday through Sunday schedule.

We’re looking for someone with the following:

• An interest in covering the most compelling news from the world’s biggest companies
• A keen eye for impactful and potentially market-moving corporate news
• A broad knowledge base spanning multiple industries and company types
• A fundamental understanding of how corporations conduct business and grow
• A nose for identifying any developments that seem unusual and out-of-the-ordinary
• Speed, close attention to detail and accuracy, and clean copy

All our editorial fellows should have:

• A passion for digital storytelling, voracious reading habits, and familiarity with digital and social media
• Experience reporting and writing (school publications are great!)
• Ability to work quickly and collaboratively with a fast-paced team
• Solid proofreading/copy editing skills and light HTML/Photoshop experience

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, they are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers.

• Fellows are paid $20 per hour (overtime when needed and approved)
• PTO and paid holidays
• Eligible for medical, dental, and vision benefits on 91st day of employment
