Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Phoenix New Times is looking for freelance food writers to help cover the unique and growing food scene of metro Phoenix for the food and drink section.
We're looking for reliable writers who can meet deadlines and take on original reporting that examines unique culinary happenings all over our community. While we're open to all ideas (yes, we can get weird with it), we're particularly interested in detailed Mexican food reporting, cocktail and beer culture, food trends, restaurant industry news, and whatever you’re extra-passionate about covering.
Freelancers must be prepared to pitch their own story ideas, take photos (yes, your phones can do the trick), and be open to assignments from the New Times food editor (me).
Please email a resume, links to published articles (doesn’t have to have your byline on it), a few story ideas, and what interests you about food to lauren.cusimano@newtimes.com.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
