Added 2025-03-06 06:54:27 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE ARK
Deadline: 6 April 2025
The Ark, a nationally award-winning weekly newspaper serving the communities of Tiburon, Belvedere and Strawberry in the San Francisco Bay Area, is seeking talented freelance reporters to contribute general-assignment news, feature, profile, sports and other articles to our primary weekly edition, as well as regular soft features in our Home and Spirit of Generosity special sections.
Our hyperlocal articles are multisourced, typically run 600-1,200 words and are assigned with significant lead time. Assignments also typically originate from our special sections editor, though pitches are welcome.
This is an ongoing freelance, nonstaff, independent-contract role paid monthly by assignment and performed outside The Ark’s office, with most communication with the editors by phone and email. However, the nature of the stories will require — require! — in-person interviews with residents on location here on the Tiburon Peninsula, so you should live within a reasonable travel distance of 94920.
Please send a standard resume and a cover letter detailing relevant experience to jobs@thearknewspaper.com. Include PDFs or links to three specific samples of published work. After a review of materials, we may ask candidates to complete a short assignment for an assessment of unedited work.
