About Akshon Media

At **Akshon Media**, we believe the gaming industry is rich with stories that need to be told not just played.

Our mission is to uncover the _real human stories_ behind the games, the players, and the multi-billion dollar industry shaping modern culture. With cinematic editing, editorial rigor, and a deep respect for the gaming world, we create YouTube documentaries that both inform and resonate.

We’re looking for an **investigative story writer** to dig deep, connect the dots, and write powerful scripts that bring the lesser-known corners of gaming to light.

**What You'll Do**
- **Investigate compelling topics** across the gaming industry and esports landscape — from historical retrospectives to emerging trends, scandals, and behind-the-scenes drama
- Craft deeply researched, emotionally driven scripts for YouTube video essays and documentaries
- Interview sources, analyze public materials, and gather credible data to build narrative authority
- Collaborate with producers and editors to adapt your findings into strong video structure and pacing
- Pitch original story ideas and series concepts aligned with our brand and audience

Who You Are
- A **natural storyteller and investigator**—curious, detail-oriented, and driven to find the “why” behind the headline
- Passionate about **gaming, esports, game development**, and the culture surrounding them
- Experienced in journalism, scriptwriting, or documentary storytelling
- Committed to ethical sourcing, factual accuracy, and creative integrity

**Bonus if you**:

- Have worked in games journalism, doc-style YouTube content, or narrative podcasting
- Are comfortable reaching out to sources or building timelines with limited public info
- Have strong familiarity with YouTube’s pacing, retention strategies, and story arcs

**What We Offer**:

- Flexible remote work environment
- Space to pursue original stories and untold angles
- A platform with a highly engaged global audience
- The opportunity to build your name in an influential and growing genre of digital journalism
- A collaborative creative team focused on _craft, not clickbait_

To Apply

**Send us**:

- Your resume or LinkedIn
- 2-3 writing samples (investigative, narrative, or gaming-related strongly preferred)
- A brief pitch for a gaming story you think deserves a spotlight — and how you’d approach it

If you love asking “what’s really going on here?” and believe that **great games deserve great journalism**, we want to hear from you.

**Job Types**: Permanent, Freelance

Pay: $17.85-$42.61 per hour

Application question(s):

- What is your experience in gaming?
