Editorial – W /

Full-time /

Hybrid

W Magazine is seeking a news writer to cover the intersection of fashion, celebrity, and culture with speed, accuracy, and a distinct point of view. The writer will work closely with the Senior Editor of News and Strategy and will be responsible for pitching and executing fast-turnaround stories across fashion and entertainment. This role requires sharp editorial instincts, a firm grasp of the W voice, an eye for driving audience growth, and the ability to contextualize breaking moments into stories that feel both timely and elevated. The ideal candidate is as comfortable writing about Bella Hadid’s latest street style moment or the announcement of a designer leaving a luxury house as they are covering an awards-season controversy or a royal engagement. A strong understanding of the digital news cycle and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment is essential.

This position is NYC-based. Remote candidates will not be considered.

Pitch, write, and produce 4-5 daily fashion, celebrity, and culture news stories with clarity, accuracy, and timeliness
Updates of galleries and evergreen articles
Develop clean, compelling headlines and deks optimized for digital performance
Incorporate SEO best practices into story framing and execution

Requirements

Experience in writing digital fashion, celebrity, or culture content
An understanding of W’s unique voice, outlook, and history
Strong knowledge of the fashion industry, including designers, brands, and trends both past and present
Fluency in celebrity culture and the ability to quickly contextualize red carpet and street style moments
Strong headline-writing and story packaging instincts including a strong sense of image
Familiarity with digital publishing tools, SEO basics, and analytics platforms
Clear, engaging writing style with attention to detail and accuracy
Ability to work quickly and manage multiple assignments in a fast-paced environment
