Find Your Dream Job

Music Editor

Miami | Editorial
Miami New Times has an immediate opening for a full-time Music Editor. The successful candidate will manage and lead our coverage of Miami’s vibrant arts and lifestyle scenes. Since its founding in 1987, Miami New Times has become a cultural touchstone in South Florida. We’ve got a hard-earned reputation for publishing compelling stories ignored or overlooked by major media, whether they’re insightful looks at local arts and entertainment or unflinching exposés about Miami's steamy political life.

We believe that a special kind of culture thrives in 115-degree heat, and we are looking for a music editor who wants to run the best music coverage in the region.

The most successful candidate will combine a wide-ranging love of music, a fanaticism for detail and an aptitude for exploring audience data. We are not seeking a columnist or a critic, though you will find plenty of room to write. Foremost, we want to see a passion for fact-finding and a knack for getting the best possible work out of freelancers.

This management position is based in our Miami newsroom and reports to the editor-in-chief. Remote candidates will not be considered.

Miami New Times is published daily online and weekly in print. Always free.

- Efficiently edit stories for structure and flow. Copy edit stories to read clearly, concisely and without errors of grammar or fact. Optimize headlines, photography and art. Adhere to our house style and SEO best practices.
- Collaborate with the editor-in-chief on planning music coverage.
- Manage the editorial workflow for the music vertical. Assign stories to staffers and freelancers, monitor deadlines, and a regular cadence of story output and balance. Hit goals for volume and traffic.
- Contribute your own stories routinely.
- Coach and manage freelancers through pitching, reporting, writing, editing and production. Help them improve their work and recruit new freelancers as needed.
- Build broad relationships with the music community so that sources, story ideas, research and reporting reflect the diverse communities of Miami.
- Participate in our annual Best of Miami issue and other special projects during the year.
- Work collaboratively with the audience development director on trending news and SEO best practices and with the membership director on our membership program.
Who You Are
- An experienced journalist with at least two years of newsroom management experience and a working knowledge of — or eagerness to immerse yourself in — the character, people, and music of Miami.
- An adept editor who edits stories quickly and effectively.
- A competitive reporter and shrewd observer, eager to move fast and to surprise readers with your fact-finding and sourcing.
- A highly organized, resourceful self-starter committed to accuracy and meeting deadlines.
- A native of social media and digital journalism who’s comfortable using analytics to inform coverage and serve our audiences.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal.
Benefits
- Compensation range of $55,000 to $60,000.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance.
- In the first year: 10 paid holidays, 10 paid vacation days, 5 paid sick days.

Freelance Contributors

Miami | Editorial

The editorial team at Miami New Times is looking for freelance writers to contribute to our legacy of no-holds-barred journalism. Applicants should be based in or near the Miami metro area and have impeccable integrity and a working knowledge of online journalism.

Specifically, we're on the hunt for freelance writers to cover the following:

The Miami Hip-Hop

New Times is looking for music contributors interested in hip-hop, rap, and R&B who have an innate curiosity to dig into the scene and tell the stories of many acts that call South Florida home.

Ideal candidates will be interested in covering Miami and South Florida's hip-hop scene and have connections to musicians, producers, and publicists. Candidates should be organized self-starters with an eagerness to seek out the stories where they are — as opposed to mulling them over from the shelter of their keyboard — and a hunger to grow as writers.

If you think you've got what it takes to tell New Times music stories, send your résumé, a handful of fleshed-out story ideas, and two or three writing samples (if you have them) to our senior music editor at Jose.Duran@miaminewtimes.com. Please type FREELANCE PITCH in the subject line.

The Miami Music and Nightlife

For decades, the New Times music and nightlife section has tapped into what makes the city a special place to create music — and a fascinating scene to explore after dark. Our coverage has been the go-to for locals and visitors alike who are looking to learn what's happening.

New Times is looking for contributors who have an innate curiosity to dig into the scene and tell the stories of the many musicians, DJs, producers, bands, and night owls who call South Florida home. Among the myriad coverage areas, we're particularly interested in writers familiar with local hip-hop, hardcore/post-hardcore, jazz, and LGBTQ+ artists and nightlife scenes.

Ideal candidates are organized self-starters with connections in the scene, an eagerness to seek out the stories where they are — as opposed to mulling them over from the shelter of their keyboard — and a hunger to grow as writers.

If you think you've got what it takes, send your résumé, a handful of fleshed-out story ideas, and two or three writing samples (if you have them) to our senior music editor at Jose.Duran@miaminewtimes.com. Please type FREELANCE PITCH in the subject line.

Local Arts and Culture

The New Times arts and culture section goes far, far beyond local visual arts, theater, dance, film, and comedy. We're also a destination for readers who are eager to explore topics like travel and wellness, sports, entertainment, sex and dating, and this town's special brand of "only-in-Miami" madness. Writers with an interest in contributing to this vertical should be prepared to take readers out and about town, offering insight into the unique South Florida secrets that those in the know might take for granted. Which is to say: familiarity with the region and a willingness to go one-on-one with its movers and shakers and cultural riches is essential.

If you think you've got what it takes to tell New Times arts and culture stories, send your résumé, a handful of fleshed-out story ideas, and two or three writing samples (if you have them) to our culture editor at celia.almeida@miaminewtimes.com. Be sure to type FREELANCE PITCH in the subject line.

And please, no phone calls!
