Company Description
Pedestrian Group, Nine’s youth-focused brand, connects with millions of young Australians through diverse content in culture, tech, gaming, fashion, and more. By joining us you will work with and learn from the brightest minds to create ground breaking content that pushes boundaries and enables young Aussies to feel seen, informed, entertained and understood.
Job Description
PEDESTRIAN.TV is on the hunt for a gun News Writer ready to level up their media career. The successful applicant will be a news obsessive who cares deeply about reporting, breaking and explaining the news to our hungry readers. If you wake up and inhale the latest headlines, blast news podcasts instead of Sabrina Carpenter on your morning walk, and are the one in your friend group explaining the latest AusPol drama, we want to hear from you.
The news cycle changes daily, so no two days will look the same. Your job will primarily be writing news stories for our website, but creating scroll-stopping vertical videos (TikToks and Instagram Reels) and highly shareable Instagram carousels to elevate your reporting is a plus.

DAY TO DAY YOU WILL:

• Write news stories for the PEDESTRIAN.TV website.
• Create scroll-stopping vertical videos and highly shareable Instagram carousels to elevate your reporting.
• Spot fresh, original angles that resonate with Gen Z and millennial audiences.
• Work autonomously to manage multiple, often chaotic, deadlines at once.
• Hit the phones to chase down leads and verify facts.
• Use analytics to inform editorial decisions.
• Pitch and develop original stories.
  Qualifications
  Excellent written skills are a must, as is news judgement. You’ll innately know when a story is worth hitting vs when it’s hot air, and can read past the headlines, PR spin and noise to sniff out the real story. If picking up the phone and chasing down an original quote while on a deadline makes you sweat, then this isn’t the job for you.
  We’re ideally looking for the candidate who, with a little training, will be landing exclusives and breaking news on a regular basis. We can help you with the journalism basics, but what we can’t teach you is the hunger to land a scoop. You either have it or you don’t.
