JOB DESCRIPTION

FoxNews.com & FoxBusiness.com are looking for an experienced Politics Writer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have years of experience in journalism, a sharp eye for breaking and compelling news, and the ability to serve our audience with accuracy and speed. You “live and breathe” news, consuming content from a wide variety of sources. You can write and produce several stories efficiently each day — covering both the news of the moment and delivering original and exclusive reporting that sets Fox apart.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Cover breaking political news events, writing quickly and precisely to help solidify Fox News as the go-to site for developing stories

  • Source national and international media for stories that resonate with FoxNews.com’s audience, aggregating with complete and proper attribution

  • Pursue original and exclusive stories through trusted source development

  • Craft sharp, clear headlines and collaborate with editors and PAs to ensure visuals strengthen story presentation

  • Travel on short notice to pursue stories as needed

  • Stay engaged with your beat during weekends or holidays as news demands

  • Inform editors of current and developing stories on your beat daily

  • Adhere to Fox News Digital’s journalistic standards and processes

  • Interpret real-time analytics and adjust article framing and presentation accordingly

  • Collaborate closely with editors and fellow reporters to maintain consistency, accuracy, and impact across coverage

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

  • 2+ years of experience covering news in a professional newsroom

  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism or related field of study preferred, or equivalent experience

  • Intense interest in U.S. politics, including campaigns, Congress, and the White House

  • Strong grasp of AP style and a clear, crisp writing style

  • Deep understanding of current events and a commitment to precision, speed, and accuracy

  • Ability to work in a deadline-driven environment and perform under pressure in a fast-paced newsroom

  • Flexibility to work some holidays or off-hours as news demands; an “on-call” mentality for breaking news

  • Ability to leverage AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM)) to accelerate research, fact-gathering, and story framing in a fast-moving news cycle.
