USD 23-23 / hour
Posted on Jun 16, 2026
Business Insider is hiring a fellow to join our Life team to write compelling stories for our on-site and partner audiences.
Our mission is to inspire action through thought-provoking stories. We help our readers discover the ideas and the people who are changing business, tech, and beyond. Our team members embody and uphold Business Insider’s three 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. We ask that fellows come into our New York City or San Francisco office two to three times a week.
The Role & Team: As a fellow on the Life team, you will create general-interest slideshows and posts across topics including food, retail, travel, real estate, science, and more.
You will keep an eye on what’s trending to produce timely stories; you will think critically about analytics to brainstorm new story ideas; and you will be encouraged to pitch original stories and experiences you can write about.
The ideal candidate is excited to produce stories that could vary from a slideshow about a record-breaking mansion for sale to a list comparing states to reviews of food and transportation to quick profiles on wealthy individuals.
You will be part of the Editorial Partnerships team, whose goal is to pitch and write stories that resonate with audiences across our partner sites, which include MSN, Yahoo, and Apple News. This role reports directly to the editor of Editorial Partnerships and sits on the lifestyle team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Pitch, research, and write compelling stories for Business Insider and our news partners, which include MSN, Yahoo, and Apple News
- Produce general-interest slideshows, visual features, explainers, quick posts, and other story formats across multiple topics in a timely manner
- Write stories that are accurate, properly researched, error-free, and in line with Business Insider reporting standards
- Hone SEO best practices and become adept at Business Insider’s style of headline writing
- Consistently brainstorm new ideas based on our editorial calendar, what’s trending, and what’s resonating with partner audiences
The ideal candidate has:
- A background in journalism and experience working at a digital publication or within a newsroom
- Previous experience with pitching, fact-checking, interviewing, and copy-editing
- A genuine interest in covering a wide range of topics
- A creative mind that is always coming up with new ideas and approaches to stories
- A curiosity about the performance data and the ability to think critically about it
- A self-starter attitude and strong organizational and communication skills
- A love of Business Insider and what we do
Additionally, all of our editorial fellows should have:
- A passion for digital storytelling and voracious reading habits
- Familiarity with digital and social media
- The ability to work quickly and collaboratively with a fast-paced team
- Proofreading and copyediting skills
- A love of Business Insider and our mission to serve readers with the information and inspiration they need in a way that’s accurate, fair, fast, and fun
Business Insider is a flexible workplace when it comes to remote work, but an important part of the fellowship is being a part of the newsroom in person for learning opportunities. Fellows are asked to come into our offices in New York City/London/LA / San Francisco at least two days a week.
Salary & Benefits:
- Fellows are paid $23 per hour (overtime when needed and approved)
- PTO and paid holidays
- Eligible for medical, dental, and vision benefits on 91st day of employment
