Miami New Times has immediate openings for writers covering the world of Miami music.

If you have a passion for local bands, attend every major tour that comes to town, know your techno from your trance, or keep a mental map of the best underground parties – or all of the above – New Times might be looking for you.

There’s just one catch: You’ve gotta be able to write a killer story.

Good candidates will be aware of both who’s on the Billboard charts and the up-and-comers in South Florida. Writers with a passion for dance music and hip-hop are especially encouraged to apply, as are people of color, women and nonbinary candidates, people with disabilities, and writers across the LGBTQIA spectrum.

When news happens, Miami New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$30,000

To be considered, you’ll need:

  • a resumé
  • two writing samples (ideally published clips) in attachments or as links to stories
  • two pitches for stories you’d like to write for New Times.

Email the above to music editor Ciara LaVelle at ciara.lavelle@miaminewtimes.com. Applications missing any of the items above will not be considered.
