Covering entertainment, arts and culture news and features across Yahoo! Style, Yahoo! Lifestyle and Yahoo! Travel
• Writing multiple stories per day for the publication.
• Using software such as Google’s News, trends, and analytics, I would look for trending topics and see how previous articles had performed to help steer future content, all while making sure the website copy with SEO friendly.
• I would build each story in that brand’s CMS while working with other departments to ensure the content hit targets across social media and was distributed in newsletters.
• While at Yahoo! News, I would provide expert commentary on trending events, celeb news and the latest in the world of TV and film. This would involve researching, scripting, and fact-checking before going live on the website.
