Help Wanted: Vacancies On Cinema Blend

Cinema Blend never stops looking for talented contributors. This is your chance to get involved in one of the internet’s most successful, and fastest expanding independently owned entertainment websites. Translation: We’re not a bunch of corporate tools which means we wear second hand clothes and don’t have any health insurance.

Please note, that most of the positions listed below (unless otherwise indicated) are volunteer positions. While they may occasionally offer ancillary benefits like advance access to cool stuff, and various types of shwag, we can’t guarantee much beyond your name in internet lights on what we think is the internet’s best independently owned entertainment website, and the kind of experience you’ll need to break your way into an exciting career in journalism or possibly long-haul trucking.

Actually we can’t really guarantee that working here will help much with the long-haul trucking, but it can’t hurt to have a fallback position.

All applicants must be over 18 years of age and know how to write their pants off. For all positions, unless otherwise noted, email Cinema Blend’s Editor In Chief Josh Tyler (josh at cinemablend dot com). Put the name of the position you’re applying for in the subject line and make sure you include some sort of relevant writing sample. Submissions without samples will be used to line the cage of Devin, the CB guinea pig. Show us what you’ve got! Feel free to apply for more than one position.

Movie News Writer

We’re looking for more voices to contribute in our daily movie news coverage. Experience is helpful, but not required. Writing ability and strong opinions are.

Writers must be able to commit to at least 5 news stories of medium length every week. Especially talented and prolific writers may also be offered the opportunity to contribute theatrical reviews and conduct interviews.
