Condé Nast is hiring: Senior Writer, Culture in New York

WIRED is where a better future is imagined. For three decades, we have been the indispensable guide to a world in constant transformation. We cover humanity’s biggest challenges, from climate change to global security, from pandemic preparedness to the future of democracy, and tell stories of the people trying to solve these challenges and the role science and technology can play—for good or ill. WIRED reaches more than 30 million people each month through WIRED.com, our digital edition, the magazine, social media, and live events. Job Description Location: New York, NY WIRED is seeking an experienced senior writer for our culture desk. Reporting to WIRED’s Director of Consumer Tech & Culture, you’ll cover the creators and communities that shape the internet every day. In this role, you’ll contribute to WIRED’s culture coverage, which encompasses everything from MAHA and wo/manosphere influencers and internet rabbit holes to fun scene reports and novel breakdowns on how AI is changing how we relate to each other. We’re looking for a reporter with experience covering internet culture in a substantive way and a demonstrated ability to break news. We’re less interested in the dollars and cents of the influencer economy and film reviews than we are in the human stories behind breakout moments online. Our priority is ambitious, impactful work. That can take many forms: a major scoop, a well-timed stunt, a deeply reported investigation, a special project. You should be brimming with ideas, deeply sourced—or able to find the right sources—and enthusiastic. To be successful in this position you should have a good eye for surprising angles on stories and the ability to spot the wider significance of a new development. You should be entrenched enough in digital culture to be the first to spot major trends or breakout moments rather than react to them. You should also be a sharp and clever writer, who avoids cliches and jargon. Most of all, you should know when to take the absurd thing seriously and vice versa; a sense of fun and humor, and the ability to bring that to WIRED audiences, is a must. You’ll work closely not only with the culture desk, but also collaborate with other colleagues across the newsroom as coverage demands. You’ll also collaborate frequently with WIRED’s digital video team to help bring the best of WIRED to platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. This role is part of a growing and increasingly global newsroom of smart, kind, nerdy, and well-informed colleagues who are always brimming with ideas and eager to help each other out. This position is a hybrid role, and candidates must be based out of a WIRED office in New York or San Francisco.
