The program is a crash course in how to consistently create content that captures readers' attention, pushes the cultural conversation forward, and reaches a massive audience.<br /> BuzzFeed is both a tech and a media company and we've long used audience data and trend insights to publish widely shared articles that surprise and delight people. The Quiz Fellowship is a chance to be part of this hugely analytical and creative practice. You'll learn - and learn to get obsessed - with how quizzes are packaged and how to keep finding huge audiences.<br /> This Fellowship is for people who love making interactive things and care deeply about how audiences respond to them. We're looking for quiz writers who are curious, experimental, and motivated by learning what works.<br /> In this role, you'll study performance data, test new ideas, and refine your approach based on real feedback. Some days you'll chase a cultural moment; other days you'll obsess over the most shareable quiz result, or why one version of a quiz outperformed another. The common thread is a desire to build experiences people actually want to engage with.<br /> Fellows will work with and learn from members of the BuzzFeed team - some of the smartest, weirdest, most creative, and most viral creators out there. This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in pursuing a career in digital media. You won't be running errands for senior staff, or transcribing someone else's interviews, you will be pitching ideas, taking assignments, brainstorming, collaborating, and writing dozens of quizzes that will be published to BuzzFeed.com and promoted across our social channels.<br /> This is a paid position (starting at $20/hour). The Fellowship allows for candidates to work fully remote in select locations. If you're local to NY or LA, there will also be opportunities to work alongside us in our Flatiron or Hollywood offices. This is a full-time 40-hour-a-week position, Monday through Friday.<br /> The Fellowship is fun and inspiring, but also fast-paced and challenging. You'll be expected to meet goals related to output and article performance, with additional bonus compensation based on exceeding given success benchmarks.<br /> The deadline to apply for this Fellowship is February 20, 2026 by 5pm EST.
