The Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists.

- Light HTML and/or Photoshop experience

- Familiarity with the various Business Insider verticals and the stories they tell
- Voracious reading habits, not just of Business Insider stories but of news in general
