Description

About Arena 

Arena is a vetted network connecting leaders across sports, media, and entertainment.

The Role 

We're looking for a sharp, curious writer with a journalism background to tell the stories that matter most to Arena -- the people, companies, and moments shaping sports, media & entertainment. This isn't a content mill role. You'll do real reporting, conduct interviews with Arena members, and produce editorial work we're genuinely proud of. You'll also translate that work into short-form content for social.

What You'll Work On

• Interviewing Arena members and writing longform profiles and feature stories
• Producing case studies that show how Arena members are winning
• Writing journalistic pieces on trends, events, and culture within sports, media & entertainment
• Adapting your own stories into punchy captions and short-form copy for Instagram and LinkedIn
• Contributing ideas to the editorial calendar -- we want your pitches, not just your execution

What We're Looking For

• Current undergraduate or graduate student studying journalism, communications, English, or a related field
• Strong reported writing samples -- published work (student newspaper, blog, bylines anywhere) is a plus
• Ability to interview people, find the story, and write it with a real voice
• Comfortable writing in multiple formats and lengths
• Someone who asks "why does this matter?" before they start writing
• Bonus: familiarity with SEO basics, newsletter writing, or audio/video storytelling

Logistics

• Summer 2026, June - August (dates flexible based on your schedule)
• Part-time or full-time hours, we'll work with you
• $300 stipend; academic credit available
• Fully remote (U.S. based)
