Streaming News Writer

​This is a paid freelance and remote position.

ScreenRant is the #1 entertainment website and publishes breaking news and exclusives on blockbuster movies, TV shows, comic books, and other forms of entertainment.

As a worldwide leader, ScreenRant operates at a rapid pace and is always looking for experienced and passionate contributors who can create original high-quality content in a timely manner.

Your Responsibilities:

• Write timely streaming news and streaming chart articles in ScreenRant's house style (following the initial training period), optimized for Google Discover. This includes fact-checking, formatting, linking, and image sourcing/very basic editing (sizing, brightness, etc.)
• Track and quickly turn around coverage of streaming performance data — Netflix Top 10, Nielsen streaming rankings, FlixPatrol, and platform-reported viewership — translating charts and numbers into compelling, reader-friendly stories
• Monitor Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Hulu, Peacock, and other services for breaking news, new additions, leaving titles, renewals, cancellations, and trending viewership moments
• Craft Discover-optimized headlines and framing that capture reader curiosity and search intent without resorting to clickbait
• Update and refresh older content to keep it current as charts shift and titles move on and off platforms
• Accept and apply any/all feedback received by the editorial team
• Communicate openly and actively with the editorial team
• Flexible schedule, afternoon (PST) work schedule preferred, weekend availability valued

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation.
• Consistent and timely payments.
• Flexible schedule.
• Remote freelance position to work from a location of your choice.
• Exposure to ScreenRant's large and passionate audience, providing you an exciting opportunity to make a genuine impact.

Experience and Skills:

• Bachelor's Degree in Journalism, English Literature, or a related field
• Broad working knowledge of Movies and TV and the entertainment industry as a whole — across multiple genres
• Strong familiarity with the streaming landscape: the major platforms, their release strategies, and how streaming performance is measured and reported
  • Experience interpreting streaming charts and viewership data is a strong plus
• An understanding of Google Discover and what drives engagement on the platform is a plus
• 2+ years of experience working with a credible digital publication
• A quick learner with a strong sense of urgency and drive
• An excellent writer in the English language free of grammatical and spelling errors
• The ability to write high quality articles with fast turnaround times
• Comfortable working in a fully remote environment
