The Role

Did you grow up looking at National Geographic and Time Magazine and wanting to be a photographer? Are you obsessed with visual stories and Instagram? Do you believe that pictures are worth maybe more than a thousand words? We are looking to hire a photo editor at BuzzFeed News to help shape the visual voice for the next generation!

You Will 

  • Support the news desk by pulling engaging photo research for news pieces, and curating photo stories for an audience that is visually savvy.
  • Find photos that take our audience on the ground where news is breaking.
  • Spotlight the work of an up-and-coming photographer or exhibition that's relevant, such as this story on racism and this series on COVID-19 survivors.
  • Work closely with award-winning journalists, visual producers, and the news desk to ensure that our imagery is smart and thoughtful. 

You Have

  • 3-6 years of professional experience, preferably in a newsroom. We are looking for someone who is detail oriented and able to work in a fast-paced environment, and who has a strong visual eye, strong news judgement, and good writing and communication skills. As we are an online news organization, an understanding of the internet and how images work on different platforms is a must.
  • Familiarity with agencies, photo licensing practices and copyright law, and a passion for photography.
  • Strong social media or video skills, and a deep knowledge of photo history and current photo trends would be a plus. 

To apply, please submit a resume and cover letter including two ideas for photo essays you’d want to do this week. Finalists will also be asked to take an edit test.

All job applications must be received through the official BuzzFeed Jobs board (https://www.buzzfeed.com/about/jobs), including referrals. It is BuzzFeed's practice to not schedule job interviews until after an application is submitted through our jobs board.
