Things are a bit slimmer this week since I put out last week’s newsletter late last week—but there are a surprising number of full-time, fully-remote jobs on the list today.

Publications like The Guardian, The New York Post, Fast Company and Vox are all paying well and looking for full-timers. There are also a number of niche/really interesting non-profits and political PACs looking for editors and content managers as well.

If you’re new here, 👋 I’m Abigail Bassett 👋 a highly successful freelance journalist with top-tier bylines under my belt. I’ve written for many of the publications I include in this newsletter, including The Atlantic, Elle, National Geographic, Fortune, Fast Company, Forbes, Inc., TechCrunch, The Verge, CNN, and more. I have been a freelancer for more than ten years, and I KNOW the ins and outs of this business. If you’re looking for someone to guide you through these tough media times, I’m your gal. You can find out more about me and my work at abigailbassett.com.

For $5 per month, or less than the cost of a cup of coffee you can get access to these jobs (and previous weeks listings), editor emails (which I include every week), pitch guides, insights about what it’s really like to work for these companies (via the Editor’s Notes), and everyone’s favorite section: The Dishonorable Mentions. There, I detail the worst media jobs (and companies) that consistently underpay for the work they’re offering.

This newsletter stands out in a sea of others because you won’t see these jobs in any other newsletter out there. I curate them directly via a number of different sites and get many listings directly. If I do see something on the numerous jobs newsletters I subscribe to, I’ll mention it in the Editor’s Notes.

This is a special community of hard-working, highly-skilled journalists, writers, video producers, podcasters, and more, and none of us has time to waste trying to apply for jobs that are flooded with applications.

If you want to be a part of this community and get access to these jobs and contacts, join today for just $5 per month.
