Title: Morning Blogger, The Cut (Part Time)

Location: NYC/Remote (US Only)

WHO WE ARE

New York Magazine and The Cut are part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible.

As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate ersity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

The Cut is looking for a Morning Blogger to write news stories across all areas of the site Power, Culture, Self, and Style from Monday-Thursday, 7am-1pm, and Friday, 7am-noon. This person will kick start the day for our readers, identifying the most important news stories and writing them up with the Cut’s voice and style. They’ll likely contribute 2-4 stories per shift, with the expectation that the first post be up by 10:00 AM.

We’re looking for someone who obsessively follows the news (from politics to celebrity) and knows what makes a Cut story. You should have strong news judgment, a thorough understanding of SEO, and a good sense of humor!

WHO YOU ARE

Responsibilities:

  • Work with and report to the News Editor, who oversees all news posts on the blog
  • From 7-8am: identify a story to write up, conceive of the proper way to do it from the Cut’s point of view, and pitch headlines
  • Write up to 4 short news posts per day, aiming to engage readers with the Cut’s tone
  • Closely follow politics, culture trends, and celebrity news
  • Be actively monitoring social media to keep on top of breaking news and current trends

Prerequisites:

  • 2 years of writing experience
  • Ability to work independently
  • Write quickly and cleanly, as your day begins before the editors’ do
  • Experience with SEO
  • Strong understanding of Cut tone and sensibility

If you think you have what it takes, but don’t meet every single point in our job posting, please apply with a cover letter to let us know how you believe you can bring your unique skills to the Vox Media team or get in touch! We’ve hired chefs who became editors, DJs who became UX designers, and sommeliers who became writers.
