The Columbia Journalism Review is seeking several digital correspondents to write smart, analytic pieces on various beats. The freelance work requires that the correspondents maintain an expertise on coverage and developments within their specific coverage area, that they pitch and write two stories (800 to 1,200 words) on their beat a month and that, when news breaks, they aim to be available for an original media take on the event. We seek writers who will do the reporting necessary to shape intelligent, analytical posts but without judgment. Payment is per-story but with a minimum guarantee of two pieces per month.
Here are the beats we’re trying to fill:
Health and Science
Sports
First amendment/digital security
New business models of journalism
Media Innovation
Native advertising/content marketing
If interested, please send a resume with three recent clips to editors@cjr.org.
The Editors are the staffers of the Columbia Journalism Review.
