Part of News Corp, The Sun is a global publisher and one of the biggest news brands in the UK. Our talented and diverse team publishes the best coverage of showbiz, news, sport, reality TV, personal finance and lifestyle.
In early 2020 we launched a digital US edition and have quickly grown the business into a 100+ person operation, and one of the fastest-growing news sites in America.
The ideal candidate is a dynamic entertainment or showbiz reporter who specializes or wants to specialize in TV shows, and has a deep understanding of the TV landscape, from Teen Mom to the Kardashians and every star in between. The role will require the staffer to work on original content every day – we are not a website that aggregates.
The ideal candidate would be on the West Coast and would work 2 pm until 10 pm, Monday to Friday, although exceptional candidates from elsewhere will be considered.
The job is freelance to start but will likely turn into a staff position.
Key responsibilities:
- Watch live TV shows daily and identify stories that will drive traffic
- Work with editors to turn around copy quickly and accurately, mindful of legal issues
- Work with video and picture desks to create content efficiently
- Produce posts in WordPress
Key Skills and Experience:
- Broad knowledge of tabloid subjects, including A-list celebrities and reality stars
- Passion for writing about TV, including morning talk shows, evening game shows and soap operas
- An instinct for how to ‘sell’ a digital story to get maximum impact on The Sun’s platforms and also on social media
- Excellent, fast writing and basic editing skills
- The ability to write in a concise and entertaining way in keeping with The Sun’s style
- Familiarity with best SEO practices
- Ability to work as part of a team in a constantly adapting working environment that is always striving to find new ways of telling news stories
- Ambition to progress and make the most of opportunities that present themselves
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including some nights and weekends
Equal Opportunities: We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
