Editorial Fellowship at BuzzFeed, UK

Publish Date: Sep 15, 2015

The BuzzFeed Fellowship is a three-month programme for the next generation of writers, editors, and content creators eager to master the tools and techniques of the social web. Over the course of the programme, you will learn how to create social content that readers love to share. This includes writing and editing posts tailored to BuzzFeed's audience of social sharers, and exploring how people share on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and other social sites.

We're looking for hungry culture maniacs obsessed with the things people are sharing, liking, recommending, and talking about.

You should also have:

  • High emotional intelligence.
  • An interest in social platforms and what drives people to share content on the web.
  • An understanding of Instagram, Vine, Tumblr, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, and why the most popular stuff on those sites becomes popular.
  • The ability to meet deadlines and manage your own time in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • A positive, curious, playful disposition (no haters).
  • A competitive drive — you enjoy winning, and really going for it.
  • A genuine, wide-eyed love of pop culture in all its forms.

Fellows will work with and learn from members of the BuzzFeed team. This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in pursuing a career in media, publishing, or creative services. We look for people who are fascinated by the web, human psychology, and pop culture.

This is a paid position based in our London office.
