West Coast Media Jobs: With open roles at the Fresno Bee, OPB, Insider & more!
Lots of remote jobs!
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!
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!
