Freelance Writers

We are looking for contributors to the New Women New Yorkers blog, which features interviews and portraits of immigrant women in NYC, profiles of neighborhoods throughout the city, event write-ups, personal essays, and short feature articles on a range of topics, from transgender issues for immigrant women to the IDNYC program for undocumented immigrants.

We do take pitches as well as assign out stories regularly and we are open to multimedia formats such as infographics and photo essays. For new journalists looking to cover immigration issues or write about their personal experiences with immigration, our blog offers a supportive and careful editing process and we make it a point to maintain each writer's individual voice.

Documentary, research assistant

We are seeking a journalism student with an interest in documentary filmmaking to help us create a four- to six-page timeline of an individual’s life history. We want to know about this individual’s personal and professional stories, with keen attention to accuracy of dates and information. Required skills include the ability to perform historical research (such as searching newspaper archives at a public library) and conducting in-person and by-telephone interviews. A general knowledge of the art world would be helpful.

Approx 10 per week for 8-10 weeks.
Pay, possible, depending on experience

Freelance Writer and Editor

We are looking for freelance writers to help us build out the content for a new media property called Baesline.com.

The property looks to cover modern movements, like #blacklivesmatter, athletes looking for natural alternatives, and cyberwarfare that we believe will have fundamental effects on society. We are looking to provide multiple viewpoints and context when covering these modern movements, across all political and ideological spectra.

More specifically we are looking to provide context for how society is changing as traditional stereotypes are breaking down and develop a media platform that is truly representative of the diversity that exists in reality.

The writer/editor could work remotely, but we would prefer someone in New York City. We are looking for someone ASAP.

This opportunity is ideal for an ambitious freelancer that has had a couple years of experience at an established media company and are looking to now expand the outlets where they can develop and define their own personal brand. We are looking for journalists comfortable with digital CMS's and a basic understanding of HTML/CSS for styling their content would be a plus.

If this is something you could help us with we would really appreciate any support.
