We’re hiring! PCGamesN is looking for a full-time news writer

pcgamesn.com:

Are you curious about the goings-on of the games industry, keen to tell the stories of the myriad communities of our native platform, and unashamedly enamoured with PC gaming? If so, you might just be who we’re looking for. PCGamesN has a new full-time vacancy open for a UK-based news writer.

This position is available remotely, though we’ll need you to head into our swanky new-look office in Bath from time to time – we promise it’s worth the trip and to pay your travel expenses if you’re a remote worker. It’s also worth mentioning that the working pattern is weekends, plus three weekdays of your choosing.

You’ll have a nose for finding exciting stories in everything, from press releases, to Reddit threads, to livestreams, and the ability to distil them into punchy headlines. You’ll be able to write authoritatively on games across all genres, whether it’s the latest triple-A shooter, a retro favourite, an indie breakout hit, or anything in between, and you’ll be confident covering the wider industry topics behind them. You’ll have the drive to dig for scoops, chase leads, and break stories alongside daily ‘reactive’ news. You’ll be willing to work occasional, exceptional hours to cover major events, such as The Game Awards and similar livestreamed showcases.

Reporting to the News Editor and Editor, you’ll receive regular feedback on your work and progress to help you sharpen your skills, and you’ll get plenty of support to bring you up to speed.

All eligible candidates are encouraged to apply, though we’re particularly eager to hear from writers from BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other underrepresented backgrounds.
