Freelance Contributor

We intend to surround the app with a rich library of content including blogs, videos, podcasts, etc. and are currently looking to hire freelance writers from the NYU Journalism Program at the Graduate and Undergraduate level to help in that effort.

Freelancer

Gothamist is always looking to expand and deepen our coverage of New York City. We pay.

We want original, compelling, heartbreaking, funny, enraging, and enlightening stories that cut through the dull hum of the internet and help our readers better understand New York City and the people living in it.

We want true-life mysteries, explainers that reveal how some aspect of the city works, and thoroughly reported exposés of injustice or corruption.

A 1,500-word indictment of governmental incompetence is just as welcome as a 500-word profile of the rat-slaying building super who listens to Van Halen while on the hunt. We want scoops buried in public records or shoe-leathered-out in neighborhoods or at Kafkaesque community board meetings.

If you’ve got the voice, we’ll consider your first-person account of being flashed on the subway and then brushed off by police or attending a weird sex party.

A few topics we're particularly interested in right now: the broken justice system, school segregation, and solutions to the affordable housing crisis. Explore articles we've already published for more ideas.

We also take "dispatches" from other cities. It could be a new solution to a typical urban problem, a new kind of food, or a new form of entertainment that will probably go global in a few years. Doesn't matter if it's an American or international city, as long as the story is novel and the phenomenon seems like it could spread.

We don’t publish personal narratives unless they're extremely unusual or noteworthy.

Pay depends on experience, quality, and length. No fiction, please.
