West Coast Media Jobs: With open roles at the LA Times, KATU/KUNP, KIRO 7 & more!
Or "Remote Media Jobs" these days... 🙃
If you’re looking for a job, leave a comment about what you’re looking for on our Winter Gig Seekers Thread. It’s open to everyone; you don’t need to be a subscriber or based on the West Coast to participate.
Check out talented journalists available for hire like…
Emily Blackwood, “former digital editor and current freelance reporter looking for gigs covering all things personal development, lifestyle, home, and business. I'm skilled at coming up with new angles for niches that feel overplayed and maxed out…My current claim to fame is having an article go so viral that Whoopi Goldberg used it as a conversation starter on The View.”
And more!
The Gig Seekers thread is now sent out quarterly on the 15th day of January, April, July, and October.
Sorry for the lack of content on this front! It’s been a busy winter teaching, trying to close a union contract, and dealing with some other work stuff. But I promise this feature will be back soon!
