Are you a news obsessive? Do you thrive on MAGA meltdowns and the world of 'White Lotus'? The Daily Beast is expanding its global team to deliver breaking news on weekends. We're looking for freelance journalists with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Trump and a fascination with Fox News.

About The Role

You will be based outside the U.S. to help deliver news to our U.S. audience around the clock. You are an all-rounder who is on top of U.S. politics, global news, media and pop culture. You have a deep understanding of American culture, preferably having lived in the U.S., or a track record of working for American publications.

We are recruiting part-time reporters who will cover weekend shifts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and pitch stories that matter to our audience and write intelligent, exciting copy with a punchy attitude that separates us from other outlets.
  • Collaborate with editors and other reporters to ensure comprehensive coverage and bring fresh ideas and angles that can further a story.
  • Produce clean, concise and accurate copy in a breaking news environment that requires a fast pace and can-do attitude.
  • Be able to locate original sources for stories and be comfortable making calls, creating sources and conducting interviews if necessary.
  • You feel at home picking up new CMS and other systems to improve the reader experience.
  • Be comfortable writing across a variety of topics including U.S. politics, world news, entertainment and media.
  • Identify news outlets worthy of checking for scoops on shift.
  • Be fluent across various social media platforms.
  • An understanding of the Daily Beast's voice and dynamic tone.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in news reporting.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to work under tight deadlines.
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a respected and influential news organization.
  • Engage with a dedicated audience passionate about political news.
  • Enjoy a collaborative and fast-paced work environment.
  • Opportunity for career progression to a Correspondent Role.
  • Location is flexible via remote work.
