Copyeditor, Fellow

Insider Inc. is hiring a full-time editorial fellow to help our team of copyeditors handle edits for a 24-hour newsroom. Our copyeditors edit all kinds of stories — from breaking news to investigative features — as well as headlines, homepages, social-media posts, push alerts, and more. They edit for errors of fact, logic, and sense, in addition to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style. They tighten writing and make it clearer. The copyeditor fellow will be responsible for giving second edits to articles on weekdays, most likely from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Time. We value creativity, accountability, and diversity of ideas and opinions. The fellow will report to Insider’s deputy copy chief and will work closely with reporters and editors to improve stories. The ideal candidate will be comfortable reading a wide variety of news stories and quickly identifying issues both stylistic and substantive. The Insider Fellowship Program is for early-career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists. For more information on the Insider Fellowship Program, see here. Fellows are paid $20 an hour, and they are expected to work 40 hours a week. Fellows will also be eligible for medical, dental, and vision benefits on their 91st day of employment.
