Toronto, Canada Narcity Media Full time

**About us**:
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**:
The Contributing Writers should be able to cover everything from restaurant lists to food reviews to news about openings across Toronto, publishing local stories like these:
We’re looking for writers with a strong network of sources in the food and drink sectors and a knack for finding unique local angles that will resonate with what our audiences (Gen Z, Millennial, and beyond) are searching for.
The writers should have a record of publishing original, exclusive, or timely stories while being equally passionate about producing evergreen, search-focused content. The selected creators will receive specific assignments, but will also be expected to propose their own pitches.

**What you’ll do**:

- Research and write SEO-focused food & drink local articles that drive reader engagement and grow Narcity’s audience with compelling packaging
- Consistently demonstrate a deep knowledge of what is happening and trending in your market by pitching exclusive content
- Maintain a strong network of local sources in the food & drink industries
- Deliver on Narcity’s voice and tone and respect SEO, brand and quality guidelines
- Ensure all information is properly cited and factually accurate

**Your qualifications**:

- Exceptional verbal and written English skills
- Experience writing food & drink content for a digital publisher
- An education in Journalism, Communications, or a related field is considered an asset
- Knowledge of SEO best practices & experience optimizing content for search
- Availability to contribute on a regular basis and deliver to tight deadlines
- Familiarity with various style guides, especially AP Style, an asset

**Position type & story rates**:
This is a freelance position that will be compensated on a per-story basis. Rates will be agreed upon when a pitch is accepted. For this vertical, our rates generally fall between $50 and $200 CAD depending on the article topic, length, and the amount of work involved.

**How to pitch/apply**:
1. At least 3 food & drink local story ideas targeted toward Narcity Toronto readers, including:
2. - 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 would speak to, who your sources would be, etc.

3. Your key beats, topic expertise and vision for this potential collaboration with Narcity.
4. At least 3 links to previously published work that showcases this topic authority.
6. 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.)
7. Your availability for assignments (how many pieces per week/month are you able to contribute?)

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.

**Equal Access and Opportunity Commitment**:
Narcity Media is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We encourage our people to grow and thrive by being their true selves. We are committed to removing systemic barriers in the workplace and building a company that reflects the community that we serve at every level. We are devoted to building a company that is part of the solution and not the problem.
