West Coast Media Jobs: With open roles at the NFL, San Francisco Public Press, Vox & more!
If you’re looking for a job, leave a comment about what you’re looking for on our Summer Gig Seekers Thread. It’s open to everyone; you don’t need to be a subscriber or based on the West Coast to participate.
If you’re a hiring manager, check out talented journalists like:
Joshua Encinias, an entertainment freelance writer: “Last month for Brooklyn Magazine, I spent a week with the two gay Mexican immigrants portrayed in the new Sony Pictures Classics film, "I Carry You With Me." I profiled them here.
I want to branch out into other publications and profile/interview more interesting artists in America and beyond.”
The Gig Seekers thread is now sent out quarterly on the 15th day of January, April, July, and October.
From West Coast Media Jobs Extra: This section will be launching content sometime this month, so make sure to opt-in if you’re interested and stay tuned!
From our friends at Case By Case: This week’s pitch is a great West Coast (and potentially national) pitch about a concerning EPA loophole. Stay tuned for our collab with this great newsletter!
From Poynter: Can J-schools fix news deserts?
Freelance Resources: The Commission Hunter’s rolling pitch opportunities spreadsheet (updated often!); Bitch Media Senior Editor Rachel Charlene Lewis’ great Freelancing Guide/Editorial Contacts spreadsheet.
What to Watch: Never Have I Ever Season 2 is out on Netflix and it’s so fun!
Things of Note is now open to submissions! Submit your own links, pop culture recs, and stuff of note for future consideration.
