Freelance Entertainment Reporter Job at The US Sun in New York

Are you a dynamic and motivated multimedia journalist looking to make an impact in one of the world’s most prominent news organizations?

News Corp’s The U.S. Sun is seeking freelance Digital Entertainment Reporters with strong video and on-camera experience to join our growing team.

You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, video-first newsroom, covering everything from breaking showbiz news and celebrity exclusives to consumer, lifestyle, and sports stories that pop across platforms.

The Sun is a global publisher and one of the biggest news brands in the UK. Our talented and diverse team delivers the best coverage of news, sport, TV, showbiz, and lifestyle — now expanding rapidly across America.

Since launching in early 2020, The U.S. Sun has smashed all traffic and revenue targets to become one of the fastest-growing digital news sites in the country.

We are now looking for a freelance entertainment reporter and presenter to support our ongoing expansion.

This position is based in New York, though applications from across the U.S. are welcome — remote work is available for exceptional candidates.

The ideal candidate is a confident on-camera storyteller who can jump from breaking a news exclusive to filming quick-turn reaction videos, producing explainers, or appearing in short-form content for TikTok, YouTube, and other social platforms.

You’ll have a deep understanding of the showbiz and TV landscape — from Teen Mom to the Kardashians and every star in between — and know how to make it shine in both words and video.

Initial shifts required are Monday to Friday from 8am EST, with an expectation that these will later include evening and weekend working.

Pay: $200–$250 per shift, based on experience.

Hours: Nine-hour shifts with a one-hour break.

• Produce posts efficiently in WordPress and collaborate on social rollouts
• Ensure all content meets legal and editorial standards

• Strong knowledge of entertainment, reality TV, and celebrity culture
• Proven on-camera experience — comfortable recording, presenting, or conducting video interviews
• Excellent, fast writing and self-editing skills
• Ability to write and speak in The Sun’s concise, entertaining style
• Basic video editing and production skills (Premiere, CapCut, or similar)
