About the role

We are seeking a dynamic, experienced writer to join the growing features desk in our New York office. The role will focus on real-life, 'As Told To' features so having experience in that format is helpful, but a broad familiarity with delivering impactful, engaging features is also vital.

  • Working with photo editors to compose images to illustrate articles
  • Building articles in a content management system

Person Specification

We are seeking professionals with the following experience:

  • At least 3-5 years working as a feature writer at a newspaper, news website, magazine or television news show
  • Knowledge of the DailyMail.com brand, editorial voice and audience
  • An understanding of what sorts of stories work to attract, retain and delight subscribers
  • Ability to restructure opinion articles is a plus
  • Specific experience covering real-life, crime, celebrity, showbiz and / or politics is a plus
  • Knowledge of online research tools

Please send a short cover letter explaining why you believe you'd be successful in this role and three published pieces that demonstrate your range as a feature writer.
