The Sun , a weekly newspaper in Northern Santa Barbara County, is looking for a full-time arts and culture writer to handle the arts, food, wine, and events side of our paper. Our ideal candidate will be able to jump in with both feet and hit the ground running with little to no hand-holding, as well as produce and identify quality writing—unlike the mixed metaphors earlier in this sentence. We’re looking for someone who can keep tabs on the pulse of the community, who can dig into the stories behind the people and events we cover, who has the passion to give a voice to the voiceless, and who has the talent to write compelling articles and features. Also, you’ll be taking photos from time to time and spearheading our comprehensive Central Coast calendar.
Think you have what it takes? We’d love to hear from you. Send a cover letter, résumé, and at least three writing samples (published clips preferred) to Cindy Rucker at 1010 Marsh St., San Luis Obispo, Ca 93401. Or e-mail View email address on journalismjobs.com .
