About the Role

Eleven Media is looking for an experienced Senior Writer to cover US politics and news through well-researched reporting, analysis, and commentary. This is an editorial position, not an SEO content-writing role.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and write timely stories covering US politics and news.
• Produce news coverage, analysis, explainers, and commentary.
• Follow US political developments, identify strong story angles, and verify information using primary sources, public records, official statements, interviews, and credible reporting.
• Track major US news, identify stories relevant to the audience, and research the facts and context needed for accurate coverage.
• Select relevant, high-quality visuals for each story, including thumbnails, cover images, photographs, videos, and other supporting visual elements.
• Develop clear, well-supported arguments for analysis and commentary pieces.
• Work with editors to refine story angles, structure, clarity, and accuracy.
• Manage multiple assignments and meet editorial deadlines.
• Maintain the brand's editorial voice and quality standards.
• Remain flexible during major political events and breaking news.

What You Will Need

• Strong professional experience writing about US politics, government, elections, public policy, or national news.
• A portfolio of published reporting, analysis, commentary, or current-affairs writing.
• A strong understanding of the US political system, institutions, parties, elections, and major policy debates.
• Excellent research, reporting, fact-checking, and analytical skills.
• The ability to distinguish verified facts, reported claims, analysis, and opinion.
• The ability to explain complex political developments clearly and accurately.
• Strong news judgment and the ability to identify meaningful angles.
• Clear, engaging writing with a strong command of grammar, structure, and tone.
• The ability to produce original, independently written work. AI-generated or AI-rewritten copy will not be accepted.
• The ability to work independently, respond to editorial feedback, and meet deadlines.
• Availability to cover time-sensitive stories when required.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV, links to previous bylines, and relevant writing samples. These should include examples of US politics or news reporting, analysis, or commentary.
