  • Industry insights and analysis are essential to every article that we publish. We are looking for passionate Vice readers who can turn their experiences and expertise into informative articles that are packed with smart analysis.

You Will:

  • Saturday and Sunday coverage with a contribution target of 5 news articles each day.
  • Compose engaging news articles with a focus on what happens and insights into why it matters.

  • Work with editors to pitch and develop unique perspectives in order to provide timely coverage of news as it happens.
  • Produce clean, engaging copy requiring minimal edits while working with editors to incorporate feedback into future pieces - on the road to self-publishing your work.
  • Bring your knowledge and expertise of specific areas to the team to own lanes of coverage.
  • Follow editorial guidelines and adapt writing style to site voice (with plenty of room for personal flourishes) as needed.

  • Degree and/or certification in English-related education is a benefit but not mandatory.
  • Ideas you'd love to find a home for as well as an appreciation for taking on and owning new interests as they emerge.

Weekend availability is required for this position. Those able to work during these timeframes will more often be able to do so at their own pace.
