BBC Studios is seeking a travel staff writer to join the features team on BBC.com. They will be responsible for writing travel articles that range from quick reactions to the news, to regular columns, and longer form destination guides. Candidates should have a strong background in digital lifestyle journalism, a solid understanding of SEO best practices, an insatiable appetite for the trending stories of the day and a knack for getting in (or starting) those conversations.
This person will help deliver on BBC Travel’s mission to help our readers fall in love with the world, by providing stories that inspire, inform and entertain. The ideal candidate for this role will have experience delivering work that is as engaging as it is editorially rigorous, and the ability to find and connect with sources around the world. Quick, clean copy is a must.
It is important to note that this role will not require constant globe-trotting, as you’ll mostly be reporting on the travel trends happening in real time around the world, alongside a team based in New York. Additionally, the BBC’s stringent editorial guidelines prevent anyone on this team from accepting press trips or other freebies to which some travel writers may be accustomed.
