What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Sourcing, writing, and editing stories across multiple topics, from video game updates (like Call of Duty and EA FC) to viral entertainment moments and breaking TV and movie news.
  • Sub-editing to ensure content is clear, accurate, and aligned with Dexerto’s editorial standards.

  • Proven professional writing experience. Ideally covering entertainment topics such as gaming, TV and Movies, and viral news.
  • Social media expertise, particularly in a professional capacity, and a strong understanding of how to engage online audiences.
  • The ability to learn and adapt quickly to different topics – especially when breaking news hits in TV, movies, or entertainment.
  • A passion for video games with knowledge of mainstream games such as Call of Duty, EA FC, and more
  • Knowledge of TV and Movies
  • Awareness of big Twitch streamers, YouTubers and other content creators
  • Strong editorial judgment with the instinct to know what stories will resonate with our audience
