This is a paid, freelance opportunity for an experienced entertainment writer with a strong interest in network television.
You will create timely, engaging articles covering major scripted TV franchises and new series across leading U.S. networks.

You will be responsible for producing polished, fact-checked content while following established editorial and formatting standards.
Your work will reach a large, passionate entertainment audience and contribute directly to high-quality television coverage.
The position offers substantial flexibility, making it well suited to writers who can manage deadlines and deliver consistently in a remote setting.

Accountabilities:
  • Write multiple articles per week covering network television, following established editorial style, formatting, linking, fact-checking, and image-sourcing requirements.
  • Develop coverage across shows from ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, with particular expertise in franchises and series such as Law & Order, NCIS, One Chicago, 9-1-1, High Potential, Boston Blue, Fire/Sherriff County, The Rookie, and Grey’s Anatomy.
  • Brainstorm, pitch, and develop original story ideas that are timely, relevant, and compelling for an entertainment audience.
  • Research and fact-check information carefully to ensure published content is accurate and reliable.
  • Format and prepare articles for publication, including links, images, and basic image adjustments such as sizing and brightness.
  • Incorporate editorial feedback constructively and make revisions efficiently while maintaining the intended voice and quality standards.
  • Communicate proactively with editors and colleagues regarding pitches, assignments, deadlines, and revisions.
  • Consistently deliver high-quality work within fast turnaround times and evolving editorial priorities.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, English Literature, Communications, or a related field.
  • At least 2 years of professional writing experience with a credible digital publication or comparable media outlet.
  • Strong knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for network television, particularly current and upcoming programming across ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX.
  • Demonstrated ability to produce polished, engaging articles quickly without compromising accuracy or editorial quality.
  • Excellent command of written English, grammar, spelling, structure, and editorial conventions.
  • Strong research, fact-checking, and information-synthesis abilities.
  • Ability to generate original content ideas and turn them into compelling, publication-ready pitches.
  • Excellent attention to detail, particularly when working with names, episode information, dates, links, and other factual details.
  • Ability to respond positively to editorial feedback and collaborate effectively with a distributed editorial team.
  • Strong organization and time-management skills, with the ability to manage recurring deadlines independently.
  • Comfortable working entirely remotely and maintaining reliable communication in a virtual environment.
  • Passion for entertainment journalism and a clear desire to build a career within the digital media industry.
  • Willingness to complete a writing evaluation as part of the application process, if requested.
Benefits:
  • Competitive freelance compensation.
  • Consistent and timely payments.
  • Flexible schedule with the freedom to organize your work around your availability.
  • Fully remote position with the ability to work from anywhere.
  • Opportunity to reach a large and engaged entertainment audience.
