NJ Advance Media (NJ.com and The Star-Ledger newspaper) is looking for a passionate journalist to join our award-winning Topics Team as a food and culture reporter.
As New Jersey’s largest media source, NJAM is committed to bolstering its food and culture report with stories spotlighting the state’s diverse restaurant scene, as well as those illuminating distinct New Jersey culture. We are particularly interested in a journalist who can help us broaden our coverage to reach underserved communities, and help identify and elevate restaurants and food trends in these communities. We are also interested in a reporter who understands local culture and can write candidly (and with some humor) about our state and the bonds we share.
The journalist in this position will pitch, visit and report upon people and businesses with interesting stories to tell, and whose food and drinks connect them to their communities. After all, food stories are people stories, too. News and trend pieces, reviews, feature interviews, lists, and projects would all be expected, as well as collaboration with reporters on our food team and beyond. Some non-food-related stories bound to New Jersey trends – viral moments, New Jersey people making national pop culture news and more are on the table — may be pitched and assigned as well.
