About Pocket-lint
Pocket-lint is a global consumer technology and culture publication with an audience that loves staying plugged into what’s new, what’s trending, and what everyone’s talking about. We’re growing our culture and entertainment desk and looking for writers who understand the intersection of celebrity, society, and the internet.

Role Overview
We’re seeking writers who can deliver People-style culture coverage : celebrity updates, relationship timelines, trend explainers, streaming/TV news, social-media–driven moments, and human-interest stories — plus major cultural news involving high-profile figures when it becomes part of the public conversation.

Responsibilities

  • Write daily stories about celebrities, entertainment, TV/streaming, pop culture, and trends
  • Cover major culture-driving news involving public figures (e.g., legal updates, controversies, or widely-discussed events) with sensitivity and clarity
  • Monitor trending topics and social conversations to spot emerging story opportunities
  • Fact-check and source responsibly, especially for sensitive stories
  • Use SEO best practices while keeping writing natural and engaging

Requirements

  • Experience writing culture, celebrity, or entertainment content for reputable publications
  • Strong sense of what’s trending, what readers care about, and what’s driving conversation
  • Ability to write polished, compelling copy quickly
  • Familiarity with AP style and digital publishing tools
  • Great headline instincts

Nice to Have

  • Experience tracking social media trends and viral moments
  • Comfort writing both quick turnaround stories and longer features
  • Ability to pitch creative angles on fast-moving news
  • Some familiarity with legal/cultural news involving public figures (from a culture lens, not investigative reporting)

How to Apply

Submit through JazzHR:

  • Résumé
  • 3 writing samples (preferably culture, celebrity, or People-style pieces)
  • Cover letter: a short note about why you love covering pop culture and internet-driven news

The hiring team at Pocket-lint will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition!
