Kristine White, “a reporter based outside of Seattle, WA. For the past two years, I was a part of The New York Times' Pulitzer-winning covid data team…I'm looking for full-time reporting work and freelance work! Ideally I'd love to stay in the Pacific Northwest, but I am open to relocating anywhere on the West Coast.” (more info)
Alexandra Applegate, “a multimedia journalist, writer, editor, audio producer and public relations practitioner. I recently graduated from the University of Southern California with a master's in journalism and I also have a bachelor's in public relations. I'm looking for a part-time gig or contract/freelance work. I would love to write, produce or tape/edit audio for you!” (more info)
The Gig Seekers thread is sent out quarterly on the 15th day of January, April, July, and October.
Housekeeping: I did press send on last week’s newsletter, but apparently it never made it out to your inboxes. Sorry about that! I’m working with Substack now to see what happened.
On another note, I’ve been thinking of moving this newsletter from Substack, because of many issues, but mainly because the platform has an email length limit that this newsletter always exceeds, and that may have been behind last week’s snafu. If you have any platform suggestions, please let me know!
