Narcity Toronto Opinion Columnist, Freelance

Content: Editorial Contractor Toronto, Remote, ON

Narcity is a news media organization that produces quality journalism with a unique twist. While our publication has evolved significantly over the last ten years, our local focus remains at the heart of our editorial mission. Every topic we cover — from news to events, personal finance and restaurants — connects our readership to their community, city, region and country.

Our journalists are storytellers who aim to inform, entertain and inspire Narcity users with articles and videos that are both thoughtful and accessible. Regardless of the format – whether it's a news brief, travel listicle or opinion piece – our stories are designed to be creative and digestible, offering a unique perspective that stands out from the traditional media landscape.

Our goal is to make Narcity a space where creators can share everything from the latest news to their own lived experiences with readers from all walks of life. Our users choose our site and app for the diverse, exclusive and engaging content that's available for free by creating an account.

Your mission:

We are looking for thought-provoking, engaging and relatable op-eds for Narcity’s local audiences in the following markets:

Contributing Columnists should bring unique perspectives, informed opinions and deep insights into local issues and trends that resonate with our readership.

The content should be local, topic-based and consistent (ex: Toronto local politics, Vancouver dating, Montreal's food scene) and touch one of the sections on the site:

The ideal candidates will be able to articulate their viewpoints in compelling and accessible ways, publishing well-argued first-person articles. We want to hear about the things that keep you up at night, your hot take on a topic that’s relevant to your community.

We’re looking for writers with a unique voice, strong expertise on the topics they want to contribute to and a knack for finding unique twists that will resonate with Gen Z and Millennial audiences.

The writers should be creative thinkers with endless ideas and a deep passion for opinion journalism to write a regular column.

Here are some examples of first-person articles published on Narcity (for illustrative purposes only as we’re looking for different voices and setting a new direction):

  • Research and write first-person local articles that drive reader engagement and grow Narcity’s audience with compelling packaging.
  • Perform in-depth research and conduct interviews to substantiate your points.
  • Consistently demonstrate a deep knowledge of what's happening and trending in your market by pitching exclusive content.
  • Maintain a strong network of local sources in your field of expertise.
  • Match Narcity’s voice and tone and respect SEO, brand and quality guidelines.
  • Ensure all information is properly cited and factually accurate.
  • Exceptional verbal and written English skills
  • Experience writing content for a digital publisher
  • Education in Journalism, Communications or a related field is considered an asset
  • Knowledge of SEO best practices and experience optimizing content for search
  • Availability to contribute on a regular basis and adhere to tight deadlines
  • Familiarity with various style guides, especially AP Style, is considered an asset

Position type & story rates:

This is a freelance position that will be compensated on a per-story basis depending on your experience, the article topic, length and amount of work involved. Rates will be agreed upon when a pitch is accepted.

How to pitch/apply:

Please send an email to pitches@narcitymedia.com with the following:

  • At least 5 city-centric op-ed story ideas targeted toward Narcity readers, including:
  • Proposed headlines (make sure to familiarize yourself with how we do headlines at Narcity)
  • A few sentences on each idea, including what makes the article original/unique, who you might speak to or source information from, why readers should care, etc.
  • Your topic expertise and vision for this potential local column on Narcity
  • At least 3 links to previously published work that showcases this topic authority
  • An updated CV (follow this link to learn how to convert your resume into a PDF)
  • Links to your social media handles to help us get a sense of your voice, personality and willingness/ability to distribute content created for Narcity on your own personal channels (X, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.)
  • Your availability for this column (how many pieces per week/month are you able to contribute?)

*****Applications that do not include all required elements, or that are not submitted through this email address, will not be considered. Please do not apply through this system.*****

What happens after I pitch?

If we love your pitches, our Editors will be in touch with you to arrange a paid trial assignment and discuss story structure, word count, deadline and the fee for your work.

If your trial is successful, you’ll be fully onboarded as a Narcity Freelancer

If your pitches aren't in line with what we're currently looking for, we’ll let you know and always aim to provide some feedback.
