It’s been another busy week in media (and job openings)! I’ve collected more than 30 jobs and opportunities for pitching that pay up to $2 per word, $85 per hour, and as much as $285,000 per year in salary for remote and hybrid work.

In spite of some dire reports, things in media are still booming (and changing). Here’s a quick round-up of the latest news in media, in case you missed the headlines.

Not a Subscriber Yet? You’re Missing Out

This week’s writing gigs feature six-figure editorial jobs at Bloomberg, Vox, Yahoo, The Information, and more and include some of the highest-paying roles on the media market right now. This week I’ve curated brand new jobs like the following:

  • $185,000 for a Senior Copy Editor

  • $180,000 for an AI reporter

  • $230,000 for an Equity Editor

  • $281,300 for a Director of Content Design

Plus, direct editor emails at MIT Tech Review, Grist, Bon Appétit, and more—so you can skip the pitch portal and go straight to the inbox that matters.

3 Reasons This Newsletter is Stands Out

I Have Been Working in Journalism & Communications For More Than 15 Years & Provide Insights You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Want to know what an office environment is really like? I’ve got you. I have worked in many places with many talented (and, sadly, horribly untalented) people. If you want the inside scoop on many major media outlets, this is the newsletter for you. I pull no punches (and you can always email me for more details if you have questions about my “Editor’s Notes.”)

Everyone Loves the “Dishonorable Mentions” list

Each week as I troll the listings, I compile some of the worst-paying and most abusive jobs that are currently on the market. God knows, there are plenty. I offer insights as to why the wages are so bad, red flags to watch out for in job listings that “sound too good to be true” and what to do when you are asked to do a “free trial” for an application. This is the most popular section of the entire newsletter and subscribers regularly reach out about the insights in this section.

For less than the cost of a cup of coffee, I do the work for you. Every single week. The newsletter goes out on Wednesday mornings at 9 a.m. PT.
