You are naturally curious, creative, and confident in finding the human angle that will make a story resonate with a large digital audience.
 
You have excellent interviewing and storytelling skills, understand what makes a strong real-life feature, and are comfortable working in a fast-paced newsroom where priorities can change quickly.
 
  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a feature writer at a newspaper, news website, magazine, television news show, or comparable newsroom.
  • Proven experience producing compelling, impactful features for a digital or mass-market audience.
  • Experience writing real-life and/or "As Told To" features is highly desirable.
  • Strong knowledge of the DailyMail.com brand, editorial voice, and audience.
  • Understanding of the types of stories that attract, retain, and delight subscribers.
  • Outstanding writing, interviewing, research, and storytelling skills.
  • Ability to generate compelling story ideas consistently and work quickly under pressure.
  • Strong online research skills and familiarity with digital research tools.
  • Excellent editorial judgment and attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple stories and competing deadlines.
  • Experience covering real life, crime, celebrity, showbiz, politics, health, or human interest is a plus.
