Correspondents wanted (Jewish arts and culture, global issues) | up to $300+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY

Gabe Friedman, News Director at JTA Jewish News, is looking for correspondents:

Freelance journalists: I’m looking for correspondents in two categories! Global + Arts and Culture. More details below — DM if interested! Feature rates are competitive but nailed down through email once we connect. No experience in the Jewish space required!

Global: I’m looking for writers to cover Jewish communities and the issues affecting them outside of the U.S. And I’m open to anything from news dispatches to features and profiles. Check out my weekly newsletter to get an idea of what we’re covering: https://www.jta.org/

Arts and culture: Movies! TV shows! Books! Plays! Culture news! I have some assignments available in this category if you’d like to try it out. (Note: We run reporting and interviews, not opinion or reviews.)

No deadline! And like I noted, I prefer to talk with writers individually about rate, based on experience, amount of reporting per story, etc. Features always baseline of $300 though.

APPLICATION CHECKLIST: Unless otherwise stated, include (1) a note explaining how you meet the requirements or why you are the right fit for the job; (2) a one-paragraph summary of your relevant experience, credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.

Its reporting reflects the wide spectrum of religious, political and cultural identity that exists among Jews today.
