BuzzFeed.com Editorial Fellow

BuzzFeed, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZFD) is home to the best of the internet with a mission to spread joy and truth. Across entertainment, news, food, pop culture, and commerce, our brands drive conversation and inspire what audiences watch, read, and buy now — and into the future. Born on the internet in 2006, BuzzFeed, Inc. is committed to improving it: providing trusted, quality, brand-safe entertainment to hundreds of millions of people; making content on the internet more inclusive, empathetic, and creative; and inspiring our audience to live better lives.

Business Area: Content

Job Category: Editorial

Union Status: Non-Union

BuzzFeed Inc. is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. We reserve the ability to adjust the final compensation for this role based on the final candidate's experience, skillset, certifications, and geography.

The Community You Will Join

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.

A Typical Day

We're looking for culture and internet obsessives with a passion for the things people are sharing, liking, recommending, and talking about. You should also have:

  • A genuine, wide-eyed love of pop culture and internet trends in all their forms
  • An interest in social platforms and what drives people to share content
  • Curiosity and excitement about social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, Tumblr, etc.)
  • Curiosity and excitement about utilizing emerging AI technology to create unique and entertaining content

In addition, you should demonstrate the following:

  • Some experience creating content for the internet (it doesn't have to be formal — anything from published articles to creative Twitter threads to personal TikTok accounts)
  • Ability to quickly identify social trends and topics
  • Ability to handle critical feedback and improve from it
  • Eagerness to collaborate
  • Ability to interpret key audience data points relating to your work and use it to adapt and evolve your approach moving forward

Use of artificial intelligence or an LLM such as ChatGPT during the interview process may be grounds for rejection of your application.

To Apply

Please submit the following when applying to be an Editorial Fellow:

  • Create a BuzzFeed.com/community profile, and create 1-2 posts that reflect your voice and interests. Please submit articles or lists, rather than quizzes! When you submit your posts, include "This is for the Editorial Fellowship." in the description. You'll be asked to provide the links to your posts when you complete the application. SO, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR COMMUNITY POSTS PRIOR TO COMPLETING THIS APPLICATION! We encourage you to check our Trending page to see examples of posts that reflect what we're looking for, and to take note of the variety of topics and formats.
  • P.S. We use AI tools to make our work better at BuzzFeed, but for your edit test we want to hear YOUR voice, not ChatGPT's.
  • Provide links to your public social media accounts.
  • Attach a resume — keep it to one page!
