Freelancer?

Taproot invites applications from engaged, Edmonton-based freelancers to help us help our community understand itself better.

Join the pool of journalists we can rely on to explain what's going on in the city, in the form of stories and features for our website and in our daily newsletter, The Pulse. We're also interested in coverage that can bolster the beats we cover in our weekly roundups.

Here's what we're looking for:

• Curiosity, creativity, initiative, and solid news judgment;
• Ability to determine what's new, relevant, interesting about a topic;
• Experience in lining up and conducting interviews, and gathering information from sources;
• Ability to write on deadline, with a firm grasp of story structure and editing processes;
• Solid, general knowledge of Edmonton and Alberta.

Taproot Edmonton wants its writers to reflect the full diversity of our city, and we are eager to hear from freelancers with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We currently pay $250 to $750 per written piece; we're also open to pitches for storytelling in other forms.

Interested? Get in touch.
