About The Position

The BuzzFeed.com Editorial Fellowship is a three-month-long program, with the hope of extending up to a year, for aspiring and hungry writers eager to hone their skills and learn by doing. The program is a crash course in how to consistently create content that captures readers’ attention, pushes the cultural conversation forward, and reaches a massive audience. BuzzFeed is both a tech and a media company, and we’ve long used audience data and trend insights to publish widely shared articles that surprise and delight people. The Fellowship is a chance to be part of this hugely analytical and creative practice. You’ll learn — and learn to get obsessed — with how content is packaged and how to keep finding huge audiences. Fellows need a strong grasp of the nuanced cultural conversations happening all over the internet and should be excited about contributing to those conversations. We’re looking for people who are fascinated by social media, human psychology, and trends of all kinds. On any given day, you might be researching behind-the-scenes facts and Easter eggs about a trending piece of pop culture, curating the funniest content from around the web, or reporting on the trending topic of the day. Fellows will work with and learn from members of the BuzzFeed team — some of the smartest, weirdest, most creative, and most viral creators out there. This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in pursuing a career in digital media. You won’t be running errands for senior staff, or transcribing someone else’s interviews, you will be pitching ideas, taking assignments, brainstorming, collaborating, and writing dozens of stories that will be published to BuzzFeed.com and promoted across our social channels. This is a paid position (starting at $20/hour). The Fellowship allows candidates to work fully remote in select locations. If you’re local to NY or LA, there will also be opportunities to work alongside us in our Flatiron or Hollywood offices. This is a full-time 40-hour-a-week position, Monday through Friday. The Fellowship is fun and inspiring, but also fast-paced and challenging. You’ll be expected to meet goals related to output and article performance, with additional bonus compensation based on exceeding given success benchmarks. The deadline to apply for this Fellowship is February 20th, 2026 by 5pm EST. All application materials will need to be submitted when you apply. The intended (tentative) start date for this Fellowship is March 17th, 2026.
