A curated list of California & Pacific Northwest journalism jobs delivered to your inbox.
New York City isn't the only place where journalism lives and thrives.
As a West Coast journalist, it can be hard and even sometimes depressing looking through job board after job description saying a really great opportunity is based in New York City. Most freelance resources are for journalists in NYC. Most journalism organizations only have events in NYC. I’ve been there. I know.
Introducing the West Coast Media Jobs & More newsletter, hoping to pick up where Run Gomez’s much-beloved missed CA Media Jobs newsletter left off. The goal of this newsletter is to be an inclusive resource and community for journalists in California and the Pacific Northwest.
Who am I?
Hi! My name is Mallory Carra and I’m a veteran journalist, podcast producer and professor with 20 years of journalism and new media experience. I founded this newsletter in February 2020 and I’m excited that it’s still going strong!
I currently teach digital, audio and TV journalism at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. I’ve also worked on several podcasts, including Sarah Turney’s Voices for Justice, The Why Files, and USC’s Electric Futures. Previously, I worked on podcasts at Spotify’s Parcast Studios for over 5 years. I’ve contributed articles to NBCU Academy’s Equity Lab about journalism best practices and job searching and to Stacker.com about mental health and pets.
I have a masters degree from USC and a bachelor’s in journalism from NYU.
You missed a bunch of excellent open positions — how can I get them into the newsletter?
Oh no! Unfortunately, that does happen sometimes. This is a one-woman show run. You are always, always welcome to submit job postings via Bluesky, via email hello(at)westcoastmediajobs.com, or this Google form.
Feel free to submit any details or context about the open role, too! I’d love to include that.
How can I support your newsletter?
I’m so glad you asked! Here are some ways you can support:
This all sounds great, but you didn’t address my question.
Feel free to reach out to me in any of the above ways and I’ll try to help! Thanks so much for reading.
