Entry Level Editor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level editor job?
Start by building a portfolio that shows real editing work, whether from internships, campus publications, freelance projects, or self-directed samples. Employers at this level look for attention to detail, familiarity with style guides such as AP or Chicago, and basic proficiency with editing tools. A cover letter that demonstrates genuine interest in the employer's content area gives entry level candidates a meaningful edge.
Which companies hire entry level editors?
Companies hiring entry level editors right now include Nexstar Media Group, Chewy, and MrBeast, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. A broad mix of employers post at this level, from media companies and publishers to marketing agencies, nonprofits, and corporate communications teams building out their content operations.
Are there remote entry level editor jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and industry. About 50% of entry level editor openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting strong demand from digital-first publishers and content teams that operate distributed workforces. On-site roles remain common at print outlets, agencies, and organizations that prefer in-person collaboration early in a hire's tenure.
Are these new grad editor jobs?
Yes, many of these openings are new grad roles that also suit recent graduates and junior candidates. A posting is typically new grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, lists internships or coursework as qualifying background, or explicitly accepts a portfolio in place of a lengthy work history. Look for language like "entry level," "junior editor," or "no experience required" to confirm the fit.
