How to have a ridiculously fun career in media: Join R.AGE!

R.AGE is expanding! We’re looking for talented young people to join our team of ever-so-slightly insane journalists.

Life at R.AGE involves meeting interesting people, trying amazing new experiences, telling remarkable stories, copious amounts of coffee, never-ending deadlines, and working with REALLY NICE COLLEAGUES (that’s us!).

But more important, what we’ve always tried to do is create fresh, dynamic news content which young people can relate to; and to provide a platform where the voice of young Malaysians can be heard.

Interested? Drop us an email at alltherage@thestar.com.my!

Job description

  • Multimedia journalist for R.AGE, the award-winning Malaysian youth news and lifestyle portal. Wait: make that the MULTIPLE award-winning Malaysian youth news and lifestyle portal.
  • You’ll work with our *ahem* fun, dynamic, young and karaoke-loving team to produce video and editorial content.
  • As with all journalists, you’ll have to conduct interviews, do research, go undercover, attend events, write articles, shoot videos, edit videos, host videos, update social media, eat free food…. We like to multitask.
  • Perks of the job include occasional overseas assignments (#swag), interviews with famous people (think Taylor Swift famous) and getting a free copy of The Star every day. Oh, you also get to produce great journalistic content that makes a difference. That’s what we’re really all about.
  • Now for the serious stuff: We offer transport allowance, over-time, medical, dental, two months’ contractual bonus… Did we mention you get a free daily copy of The Star?
