Trending Entertainment News Reporter
EntertainmentNow.com, the new premium entertainment news destination from the makers of Heavy.com, is seeking fast and relentless freelance reporters who know how to spot and cover the biggest breaking and trending stories in entertainment, on and off the screen and stage.
We’re looking for nimble, dialed-in writers who live for what’s blowing up on Google and social media and can turn it into timely coverage that fits within our positive brand. The ideal candidate is versatile, deeply knowledgeable about celebrities and entertainment, and ready to take on whatever the biggest topics are that fans are talking about today.
This is not a beat role. It’s a breaking/trending news role for writers who know how to spot a story, find the hook, and file clean, compelling copy fast. If you live for the rush of breaking news, can write fast, think creatively, turn a viral trend into a must-click headline and thrive in a high-volume digital newsroom, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for:
- Proven ability to cover high-urgency, high-interest topics. What fans are Googling and sharing right now.
- Strong familiarity with digital tools like Google Trends, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and other platforms to surface stories before they hit the mainstream.
- Versatility across entertainment topics and story types — from live TV coverage and breaking celebrity news to reality TV, viral moments, hot topics, or entertainment-related content. Ability to cover entertainment news, jumping from a live morning show moment to a celebrity death to an exclusive interview or late-night story without missing a beat.
- Clean, fast writing with an instinct for headline writing and SEO.
- Excellent communication and time management skills.
- Experience in a digital-first newsroom is a plus.
What you’ll be doing:
- Writing multiple articles daily on breaking and trending stories.
- Identifying traffic-generating opportunities across celebrity and entertainment topics.
- Collaborating with editors to develop sharp, impactful coverage.
This is a remote freelance role. Compensation scales with performance.
