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 publication features in-depth local reporting on politics, arts, dining, real estate, and community issues.


Together, our publications provide essential coverage of Miami's evolving landscape, and we're looking for freelancers who can help us tell stories that matter.


What We Need:


We are actively seeking professional freelance writers to cover:

Local government and civic affairs (Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, and municipalities north through Aventura and surrounding island communities)

Community issues, advocacy, and policy developments

Business, economic development, and real estate trends

Arts, culture, and entertainment

Investigative and enterprise reporting that uncovers overlooked angles

Local events and human-interest stories


Ideal Writers Have:


Proven experience writing for newspapers, magazines, or established digital publications

Strong research skills, including the ability to navigate public records and analyze data

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?


Consistent freelance assignments covering high-impact local stories


Editorial freedom to pitch and pursue meaningful reporting

Opportunities for in-depth investigative work

Competitive freelance rates based on story depth and complexity

A respected platform to showcase your journalism in one of the nation's most dynamic markets


How to Apply:


To be considered, please submit:

A brief introduction about your reporting experience and areas of expertise

Your resume

3-5 relevant writing samples
