Full Job Description

Job Description

Are you a news junkie? Do you thrive on MAGA meltdowns and Washington health coverups? The Daily Beast is expanding its global team to deliver breaking news at its fastest—and we’re looking for journalists with a taste for Trump and a fixation with Fox News.

The Australian office is expanding, and we’re looking for breaking news reporters to help deliver news to our U.S. and global audience around the clock.

The ideal candidate is 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. If you know who Marjorie Taylor Greene is and can name the department Elon Musk ran for the Trump administration, this job is for you.

We are recruiting full-time and part-time reporters. Starting times will vary depending on the season, but range between 7 a.m.-10 a.m. AEST.

These are permanent roles in contractor positions. You must be based outside of the U.S. to apply. The role is work from home but may change as the Beast expands operations. You do not have to be based in Sydney for the role. Finalists will be required to undertake a copy and headline test. Please submit examples of published work in your application.

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 better the reader experience.
Be comfortable writing across a variety of topics including U.S. politics, world news, entertainment, sport, 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.
A can-do attitude and a hunger to hunt down a good story

Qualifications

Minimum of 3 years of experience in news reporting, preferably online.
Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills.
Proven ability to work under tight deadlines and specific targets.
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 at home or beyond.
Location is flexible via remote work.

Pay Range Salary

AUD$85,000 - AUD$100,000/year

Additional Information

Don’t meet every single requirement listed here? We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re interested in joining the Beast but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with this job description, we encourage you to give it a shot all the same. It might turn out that you’re just the right candidate for this or other roles. See more about our commitment to diversity at https://www.thedailybeast.com/company/diversity

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 identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
