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 our audience of millions, and by the end of six months are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. For more

Fellows on our editorial team write stories on their assigned beats in the unique Business Insider style. They spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, writing, pitching and producing features — even breaking news if the timing is right. Business Insider wants this cannabis fellow to discover the coolest cannabis startups and most interesting personalities in the space, while also covering the legal, regulatory and shareholder drama taking hold in the nascent sector.
All our 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 cannabis fellowship, Business Insider is looking for someone with the following:
- An interest in writing daily stories about mergers and acquisitions, venture capital funding and legislative issues in the cannabis industry
- The drive to contribute to deeply reported pieces that take readers beyond the headlines
- Experience covering business news
- A basic understanding of companies and financial markets
This is an hourly paid fellowship based out of the publication’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 in January 2020.
Created for the digital generation, Business Insider is the largest business news site in the U.S. and one of the fastest-growing news brands in the world.
