Miami New Times
Audio By Carbonatix
Miami never sleeps, and neither does its food scene. Between sunrise cafecito culture, 9 a.m. breaking restaurant news, midafternoon viral TikTok dishes, and surprise chef pop-ups, we need a writer who can keep up with the pace. This is why we’re putting out this call:
New Times is looking for a food freelancer to serve as our go-to for breaking food news.
What we need is a journalist or experienced writer who can quickly jump on exclusive stories, tips, and viral moments – a beloved bakery suddenly announcing its closure on Facebook at 10 a.m., say, or a chef dropping a secret collab dinner on Instagram at noon. We need someone who can be on call from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., working remotely, ready to file smart, accurate copy that same day.
Heads Up! We also have an immediate opening for a
full-time social media editor: Click for details!
You’ll also have opportunities for longer feature stories, digging into the chefs, communities, and cultural shifts that make Miami one of the most exciting food cities in the country. But right now, our priority is finding someone who can deliver fast, sharp reporting that captures the pulse of Miami’s ever-evolving food and drink scene.
Cover breaking food news and make it look as cool as Omakai sushi!
