Business Insider is hiring full-time visual features reporters to tell captivating visual stories about the airline industry.
A day in this role could consist of anything from going to a nearby airport to check out a new private jet to interviewing flight attendants about what they wish they could tell passengers but can’t. And, sometimes, even taking short flights for reviews.
Knowledge of the aviation industry is a must for this role.
The visual features reporter would pitch, shoot and write their own stories on these topics. They would be equally adept at sourcing photos from online outlets and going out to shoot their own.
The ideal candidate would consider themselves both a photographer and a journalist with excellent news judgement who is constantly thinking about how to turn today’s big news story into tomorrow’s must-see visual feature.
You’ll be writing stories like these:
- The end is near for the Airbus A380 superjumbo jet. Here’s how it went from airline status symbol to reject in just 10 years
- The Japanese Air Force One is up for sale for a cool $28 million — take a look inside
- Take a look inside the hidden bedrooms on board Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner
- We took a 4-hour flight on the new Delta Airbus jet that Boeing tried to keep out of the US. Here’s what it was like.

- Excellent writing skills
- A passion for telling visual stories
- Interest in reporting on a variety of aviation topics
