Job Details

We Got This Covered is looking for freelance writers who are available during the day for Australian time zones.

If you're the kind of person who scours celebrity Twitter accounts for hints about upcoming announcements, stays up to watch late-night talk shows, or advocates binge-watching entire series on a weekend, then this role is for you. You'll have the opportunity to write breaking news, opinion pieces, SEO articles, and more.

Interested candidates should have in-depth knowledge relating to the entertainment world ranging from TV & movies to celebrity news to video games. This is a great opportunity to cover the topics you already enjoy (and some you'll come to love) while working with a talented and passionate team. Applicants should be self-starters who are eager to learn and respond well to constructive criticism. We're a global, digital newsroom, and work will be remote.

Please provide a portfolio or writing examples to showcase your work.

While we're looking for people with broad knowledge and entertainment preferences, having expertise in one or more of the following subjects is definitely a bonus:

  • Video games
  • Streaming platforms and their shows & movies
  • Late-night talk shows & celebrity interviews


Responsibilities:

  • Work with editors to develop pitches
  • Meet deadlines for publishing stories
  • Follow trending topics through Google Trends and Twitter
  • Write a minimum of 20 stories per month


Qualifications:

  • 1-2 years of experience writing in the news industry
  • Knowledge of SEO practices
  • Evening availability

Compensation ranges from $16-90 per article.
