Job Description
Are you a news junkie? Do you thrive on MAGA meltdowns and the world of 'White Lotus'? The Daily Beast is expanding its global weekend team to deliver breaking news at its fastest–and we're looking for journalists with a taste for Trump and a fixation with Fox.
The Australian office is expanding, and we're seeking experienced breaking news reporters to help deliver news to our U.S. and global audiences around the clock.
The ideal candidates are all-rounders with a particular taste for U.S. politics, as well as global news, media and pop culture.

You must be based outside of the U.S. to apply. The role is work from home but may change as the Beast expands operations. You do not have to be based in Sydney for the role. Finalists will be required to undertake a copy and headline test.
