About Wake Up Productions
Wake Up Productions is one of the fastest-growing digital media companies in the UK; producing some of the most-watched news and opinion content on YouTube and podcast platforms globally. Our brands - including Piers Morgan Uncensored, The Royals Uncensored, History Uncensored, and a growing Sport franchise - reach millions of viewers and subscribers every week.

About the Role
We are looking for a sharp, fast, and versatile Newsletter Lead / Staff Journalist to join our digital team. This is a writing-first role, but it sits at the intersection of editorial, social media, and content production, and no two days will look the same.
What You'll Do
Newsletter & Subscriber Content
- Write and publish regular newsletter updates across our portfolio of brands, tailored to each vertical's audience and tone.
- Develop subscriber-only briefings - fast, intelligent, readable summaries of news, stories, and behind-the-scenes context that reward people for subscribing.
- Work closely with on-air talent to capture their voice, perspective, and reaction to breaking news and major stories.
- Ensure every edition is accurate, well-sourced, and on-brand.
