A snippet of what you can expect to be doing on a daily basis:

• Participating in daily newsgathering and reporting
• Working with both writing and video teams to pitch and develop story ideas
• Working independently to pursue leads, conduct research, and follow up on pitches
• Helping with Mothership social media platform management, e.g., drafting captions for social media posts.

WHO should consider?

Are you a news junkie? Do your friends depend on you to give a TL;DR of the latest happenings in Singapore?

If you possess:

• A keen eye for detail and a critical mind
• A strong command of the English language
• Passion for news and current affairs, and familiarity with the latest social media trends
• The ability to work under pressure to meet breaking news deadlines
• The ability to host and present in videos when required
• At least 2 years' experience writing news & current affairs stories

... we’d love for you to be part of our team!

Crucially, you must possess the mental stamina, tenacity, and agility to work in an intensely dynamic, fast-paced, and competitive media environment.
