About this opportunity

Location: Delhi (On-ground role)
Company: auster
Type: Part-time / Freelance (potential for long-term)
Compensation: Part-time rate (to be discussed)

auster is a digital arts and culture platform documenting how heritage and subcultures shape contemporary innovation, identity, and design. We operate through a publication, fund, and store — all rooted in evidence-based storytelling and cultural relevance.

We’re looking for a journalist who’s just as comfortable behind the mic as in front of the camera — covering art shows, festivals, underground gigs, fashion pop-ups, and other cultural happenings. You’ll attend events, conduct on-the-spot interviews, and deliver sharp, engaging coverage for auster’s magazine and social channels.

Key responsibilities:

Pitch and write stories in auster’s voice (sharp, informed, slightly irreverent)
Cover Delhi-based cultural events
Interview artists, thinkers, and community voices
Create IG-first carousels (2–8 slides) with 200–400 word captions
Occasionally contribute long-form articles (800–1,000 words)
(Optional) Appear on camera for IG/TikTok formats

Requirements:

Strong writing skills with a distinct POV
Deep curiosity and knowledge of culture, heritage, and community
Based in Delhi, available to attend events and shoots
Ideally experienced in journalism, storytelling, or content creation
