The Tab is hiring an Editor for our exciting new entertainment site Reality Shrine

We’re looking for an ambitious and reality-TV-addicted Editor to take the helm of our latest project

The Tab group is hunting for a reality-TV-obsessed Editor and leader to run our new site Reality Shrine.

Our mission is to publish the funniest, juiciest, and most original Reality TV coverage for 18-35s in the US. Like The Tab, the stories will be bold, fun, voice-driven, and unlike any coverage you find elsewhere on mainstream US entertainment sites. 

Reality Shrine, as part of The Tab group, joins the fast-growing entertainment powerhouse Digitalbox and sits alongside established brands like Entertainment Daily!, TV Guide, and The Poke. 

The Editor, Reality Shrine, will work alongside a team of 13 young and energetic journalists at The Tab group. They will be responsible for growing the site’s readership every month and publishing super-sharp entertainment stories daily.

• Commissioning ideas to Reality Shrine writers

• Ensuring RS’s content is the most original and spot-on reality TV coverage in the US for a young female audience
• Running daily and weekly pitch meetings
• Helping to manage and grow the RS Facebook page
