Why SFGATE?
SFGATE is a digital-only publication that reaches more than 28 million readers every month and tells the stories of the people, places and ideas that make San Francisco, and the Bay Area at large, the weird and wonderful place that it is. We help readers navigate their day, whether it's by keeping them updated on big breaking news, guiding them to interesting local experiences or sharing a part of the Bay they haven't seen before.
The site is home to six verticals: Culture, offering a unique mix of the entertainment news you actually need, and the underground stories from hidden corners of the Bay Area you want; Local, the premier destination for everything that life in San Francisco encompasses (from wildly expensive real estate to schools to what it's like to live above a raucous bar); Sports, covering the intersection of sports and pop culture; Travel, covering everything from flight deals and travel news, to hotel hacks and under-the-radar day trips; Food Drink, where we tell you the backstory of the people behind the bar and in the kitchen; and News.
Your Impact:
The ideal news reporter will be a versatile journalist with a deep understanding of the Bay Area and California and the intellectual curiosity to want to tell stories that matter to the people who live there, ex-pats who still love their hometown or national news audiences interested in the goings-on of San Francisco. The news reporter will be able to toggle between fast-paced daily stories and the well-sourced, deep-dive news features.
What you'll do:
• Consistently have ideas - You'll be given a blank canvas to tell stories that matter to San Franciscans and residents of the greater Bay Area. Curiosity is an absolute must.
• Be autonomous - As we are all remote workers for the time being, that comes with a lot of trust to meet deadlines, understand analytics and communicate with the copy desk and editors.
• Be consistent - You'll be writing 2-3 features a week, plus daily news stories, we want someone who can move the audience with every single piece, and have the planning foresight to make sure they have something great lined up for weeks to come.
Who you are:
• You have 1-3 years of relevant experience writing and editing at a publication or in a digital media environment
• You're based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate once it is safe to do so
• You have a deep knowledge of the region that spans beyond a single discipline
• You have a passion for journalism and telling stories
• You've read SFGATE and have an understanding of the brand and voice
