Job description

Are you a skilled and reliable freelance journalist with a passion for hyperlocal reporting? The Miami Times and Biscayne Times are seeking talented freelance writers to contribute compelling, well-researched stories on an ongoing basis.


About Us:


The Miami Times is South Florida's oldest and largest Black newspaper. Since 1923, it has been a trusted voice for the community, providing award-winning coverage of local news, arts, business, and social issues. With a multi-platform approach spanning print, digital, and social media channels, it provides in-depth, culturally sensitive reporting that empowers and enriches its community.


Biscayne Times is a smart, sophisticated monthly news magazine and website serving the Biscayne corridor's best neighborhoods, from Brickell to Broward, including all the waterfront communities.

The ability to develop sources and establish credibility with key community stakeholders

A track record of breaking stories that go beyond surface-level reporting

Flexibility to write for different audiences, as The Miami Times and Biscayne Times serve distinct readerships

Adherence to AP Style and journalistic ethics

Basic photography skills are a plus for capturing visual elements to accompany stories


Why Work With Us?

Editorial freedom to pitch and pursue meaningful reporting

Opportunities for in-depth investigative work
