We’re looking for an energetic, plugged-in and versatile reporter who has a deep understanding of the business forces behind popular film, TV and streaming content and is intensely curious about how those forces are evolving. Candidates should feel comfortable reporting on everything from Netflix’s next act as an entertainment giant, to the attempted innovation of the theatrical experience, to gaming’s takeover of young consumers’ leisure time. In addition to writing stories, the Business of Entertainment reporter will be responsible for crafting a daily email newsletter that is delivered to thousands of subscribers, expertly curating industry news, data and commentary while adding their own insights and analysis.
The ideal candidate will be able to balance writing timely news hits with forward-looking features and interviews. We’re looking for a self-starter who thrives on being the first to report on significant entertainment trends and developments and has exclusive insights to offer our readers, many of whom are entertainment executives and other industry professionals looking to better understand the landscape in which they operate. Success in this role requires superb news judgment, experience working with data, the ability to write with clarity and a passion for all things entertainment.
At Morning Consult, we give reporters the room to dive into proprietary data and uncover exclusive information. This reporter will be encouraged to apply their own interests to shape our Entertainment coverage and have the freedom and resources to pursue the stories they find compelling.
This job requires some early morning work from home and ideally will be based in New York, NY, though we are open to remote candidates who can work during U.S. Eastern Time business hours.
