Business Insider seeks an intern to write about lifestyles of super successful

Business Insider is hiring an intern to write articles and visual features about the lifestyles of the super-successful.

The Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists. Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling. They produce real work that is distributed to Business Insider’s audience of millions, and by the end of six months are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. For more information on the Insider Fellowship Program, see here.

Fellows on this executive life team write about topics ranging from luxe hotel rooms and yacht shows to lavish accessories and penthouse apartments, all in the unique Business Insider style. The publication is looking for someone who wants to take a deep dive into the life of billionaires — those well-known and those who fly under the radar — by writing career and lifestyle profiles of them and their families. They’ll spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, writing, pitching and producing features — even breaking news if the timing is right. They have the opportunity to contribute to stories about things like real estate tours, destination round-ups, interviews with industry experts, and hits on the ways people spend money when money is no object.

All editorial fellows should have:

Experience reporting and writing (school publications are great)
A passion for digital storytelling and voracious reading habits
Familiarity with digital and social media
Ability to work quickly and collaboratively with a fast-paced team
Light HTML and/or Photoshop experience
Proofreading and copyediting skills

Additionally, for the executive life team, Business Insider is looking for someone who:

Is endlessly curious about how people spend their money
Is passionate about telling stories with visuals: readers don’t just want to know about luxury lifestyle, they want to see photos of it
Has an extensive knowledge of luxury brands, blogs, and influencers

This is an hourly paid fellowship based out of Business Insider’s New York office. Fellows are encouraged to work 40 hours a week, and fellowships run for six months. Start date for this position will be as soon as possible.
