Audience and Social Media Fellow (Summer 2024)
Business Insider is hiring an audience fellow to distribute stories across various social networks and video platforms.
Our mission is to inform and inspire the digital generation and become the most influential and loved journalism brand in the world. At Business Insider, we aim to cover the people, companies, and ideas changing our world. We strive to uphold three main core values: We are all one team, we are effective and we strive to get better every day.
The Business 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. This role requires you to work for 40 hours a week. Fellows are encouraged to come into our New York, LA, or San Francisco offices two times a week.
Applications will close on April 15th.
