SFGATE Food Editor
Launched in 1994, SFGATE.com was one of the first large-market media sites in the world and served as the exclusive digital home of the San Francisco Chronicle for 19 years. In 2019, the Chronicle (which can now be found online at the paywalled sfchronicle.com) and SFGATE officially became two separately run entities with their own editorial staffs and independent newsrooms.
Today, 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 seven 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 culture; Travel, covering everything from flight deals and travel news, to hotel hacks and under-the-radar day trips; Politics, where we keep you up to speed on all local, state and national politics that have implications on the Bay Area; Food + Drink, where we tell you the backstory of the people behind the bar and in the kitchen; and News, plus has satellite editors covering Lake Tahoe, California Parks, and Disneyland.
Your Impact:
Under the direction of SFGATE’s Managing Editor, the Food Editor will be a versatile journalist with a deep understanding of the Bay Area’s food scene and enough intellectual curiosity to want to tell stories that matter to both the people who aggressively follow Bay Area food, and the people who only casually do so. The Food Editor will be able to toggle between fast-paced daily stories and the well-sourced, deep-dive features that remind people there’s more to food coverage than simply openings and closings. We want someone who will dig deep to cover the Bay Area’s food scene in incredibly unique ways, and find stories that locals didn’t even know mattered to them.
What you’ll do:
Consistently have ideas — you’ll be given a blank canvas to tell stories that matter. You need to have a constant stream of ideas to paint this. We are absolutely not looking for someone to just write opening roundups or review new restaurants. What we are looking for is someone who can apply ambitious creativity to food journalism.
Be autonomous — this position comes with a lot of trust, to both keep an editorial calendar, meet deadlines, understand analytics and communicate with the copy desk, photo department and illustrators. You have to be able to do all of these things, and do them well.
Be consistent — not only is this an idea-heavy job, it’s a writing-heavy job, we want someone who can move the audience with their features, to give them smart, bite-sized food news items to keep them informed throughout the week, and have the planning foresight to make sure they have something really great lined up for weeks to come.
Find emotional connections — we don’t want a feature story on the best dim sum in the Bay Area. First of all, everyone has already written this story a million times, but second it’s going to be wrong -- there’s no way you could try every single dim sum in the Bay Area, so your story already is going to be overpromising on something you can’t deliver. We want a feature on the burger bar near the 49ers old practice facility that gave away free food to players and staff after every win in the ‘80s. We don’t want a list of recipes you can make with Annie’s Mac ‘n Cheese (at all, really don’t pitch this ever). We want you to find real-life Annie, who still lives on a farm on the East Coast and ask her why she didn’t move to Berkeley when Annie’s HQ did. We don’t want a story about the fun new bar in the Marina, we want one about Black Horse London Pub, an old, worn-in bar that’s arguably the smallest in the entire city, where beers are stored in a clawfoot tub behind the bar, and the owner will play dice with you late into the night. We want ambitious journalism, not a retread of every food section in America.
Who you are:
You have 3+ years of relevant experience in food writing and editing at a publication or in a digital media environment
You have a deep knowledge of all food in the Bay Area — we really want someone who understands the importance of House of Prime Rib, but also has had cheap beers at Buddha Bar in Chinatown. We aren’t here to hand out stars or only write about insider-y Michelin restaurants.
You live in the Bay Area or are able to move here once it’s safe to do so
You have experience managing and mentoring other food writers — you’ll have three direct reports on your team, plus occasionally work with freelance columnists.
You have a passion for journalism and telling stories
You’ve read SFGATE and have an understanding of the brand and voice
In accordance with applicable law, Hearst is required to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation for this role if hired in San Francisco. The reasonable estimate, if hired in San Francisco. is $75,0000 - $85,000. Please note this information is specific to those hired in San Francisco.

Restaurant Critic...

The Restaurant Critic is the most prominent food media voice in one of the top dining destinations in the world. The Critic is a cultural thought leader, sparking and shaping how readers, chefs and makers understand the state of Bay Area dining.

The Chronicle food team’s mission is to provide the most engaging and influential coverage of the Bay Area’s food and drink culture, one of the most dynamic in the country. The team reports with accuracy and depth, tells stories through vivid and entertaining language, and critiques with insight and flair. It breaks news — then pulls off in-depth coverage of trends, people and issues. The team also knows how to make our audiences salivate. A deep love of all things food and drink, and the joy these can bring, informs our coverage.

Through regular reviews and Top Restaurant guides, the Critic points audiences toward the exceptional dining to be had at a range of restaurants in the region. But the Critic doesn’t merely evaluate individual restaurants: This person is fearless when it comes to breaking convention, and is keen on constantly challenging what restaurant criticism can be. The Critic will comment on emerging trends and food culture at large, setting the agenda on a national level, while keeping an audience engaged through a weekly newsletter and occasional reported features. The Critic is also a key member of the Food & Wine team, sharing their knowledge and perspective with reporters and editors, and pointing team members toward potential coverage.

We’re seeking a skilled writer who views restaurant criticism as a rich journalistic endeavor — an opportunity to talk about not only food but race, economics, emotion, conflict, culture and humanity.

What you will do:
• Cover the full range of restaurants all over the Bay Area: the formal and casual, the cutting edge and the classic.
• Write regular restaurant reviews, usually one per week. Each review should be an event: smart, insightful, with a clear point of view and surprising writing. Each story should inform, entertain and strive to spark conversation.
• Produce a weekly newsletter, a platform for smaller reviews/updates and opinion pieces.
• Work with the Associate Restaurant Critic and the Food & Wine editors to update and create new Top Restaurants guides. (They can be regional, such as Top San Francisco Restaurants; cuisine-focused, such as Top Filipino Restaurants; or based on one dish, like Top Pizza.)
• Collaborate with reporters and the rest of the food team on stories.
• Collaborate with the rest of the newsroom for photography, design, and digital publishing schedules. This includes helping produce food stories online, such as filling out spreadsheets for guides.
• May host a podcast on food culture, pending interest.

What it will take to be successful:
• Writing that is authoritative, perceptive and entertaining, with a distinct point of view.
• Unafraid to make bold statements and lead the conversation on restaurants on a local and national level.
• A digital focus and expertise in developing, acquiring and maintaining loyal readership.
• Passion and deep curiosity for all things food and drink, with a desire to seek out restaurants to celebrate and a willingness to call out overhyped restaurants/trends.
• Desire to experiment with the review format and the traditional critic role.
• Demonstrated knowledge of journalism ethics and adherence to the highest standards of professional conduct.
• Superb communication and collaboration skills; receptivity to feedback from editors.
• Experience and maturity dealing with sources, subjects, colleagues and online trolls.
• Ability to complete work on deadline and juggle multiple stories at a time.
• Desire to embrace and exceed digital performance expectations.

Requirements
• This position is full-time and will require dining at restaurants some evenings and weekends.
• The successful candidate must be based in the Bay Area or willing to move to the region.

In accordance with applicable law, Hearst is required to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation for this role if hired in California. The reasonable estimate, if hired in San Francisco is between $90,000 and $110,000. A final decision on the successful candidate’s starting salary will be based on a number of permissible, non-discriminatory factors, including but not limited to skills and experience, training, certifications, and education.

Want to inform and educate Houstonians – and all Texans – about weather extremes, pollution and environmental injustice, all while taking advantage of best-in-class digital storytelling tools...

Job Description: The Houston Chronicle – named the state’s best news organization by the Texas Managing Editors four years running – is seeking a versatile Climate & Environmental Reporter to take on everything that America’s fourth largest city and all of Texas can dish out, including coverage of hurricanes, floods, pollution, wildfires, water quality issues and development’s encroachment on ecosystems. This role will collaborate with an award-winning team of visual and data-visualization journalists, as well as other beat reporters and editors, to produce journalism that serves our growing number of subscribers and helps attract new ones.

What will you do?

- Be the Chronicle’s lead reporter covering all things environment, environmental injustice, climate and weather.
- Produce a steady drumbeat of content, from quick-hit stories about why Houston’s skies might be consistently smoggy, for example; to detailing environmental injustices in communities in Greater Houston; to larger projects that explain how infrastructure and development initiatives will impact the environment and the region.
- Collaborate with the Hearst Texas DevHub, our award-winning team of data-visualization journalists, and the Texas PubHub, our award-winning team of print designers.
- Work with the Chronicle’s audience team to identify trending environmental topics and respond to reader demands in real time.
- Through writing and visual storytelling, translate technical elements of climate, environmental and science reporting to non-technical, everyday readers.
- Be our news organization’s face of environmental coverage on multiple storytelling platforms: website, traditional print, audio and video.

What will it take to be successful?

Our newsroom specializes in reporting that educates, entertains, holds power accountable and forces change. The environmental beat presents tremendous opportunities to do all of the above.

You must …

- Be goal-oriented, aiming to produce journalism that not only captivates readers on A1, but has an impact digitally.
- Be able to juggle multiple stories at one time: quick hits, takeaways, weekend enterprise and long-term projects/investigations.
- Have 5 to 10 years as a reporter with a track record of deciphering complicated subjects. Experience as an environmental/climate or science writer is strongly preferred – but not required.
- Be a team player, collaborating with government and business reporters who also cover environmental issues.
- Have a working knowledge of state and federal open-records laws to pry open the vault on environmental stories that governments want to bury.
- Have a working understanding of social media and its ability to bring more readers to your journalism.

Assistant A&E Editor
The Chronicle’s twin goals are to effect change through exceptional, impactful journalism and to build deep loyalty with our audiences, becoming central to their everyday lives. Our arts and entertainment coverage is key to both goals. The department’s mission is to present the best arts and entertainment coverage in the Bay Area.

• Write compelling headlines for a digital, diverse audience.
• Help recruit a diverse range of freelance writers to expand Datebook’s coverage of the Bay Area arts community.
• Works with the senior editor and co-assistant editor to optimize the digital impact of the Datebook brand.
• Find and foster an online audience for Datebook stories beyond the core Chronicle arts fans.
Requirements
• A minimum of five years of editing or management experience at a digital-first publication.
• Experience reporting, writing and editing arts and entertainment content.
• High level of professionalism at all times, including a demonstrated commitment to accuracy, fairness and integrity.

• A nuanced understanding of audience data and analytics to make informed decisions on coverage.

We’re looking for someone with at least two years of news reporting experience.

Why SFGATE?

Today, 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.

- Trace longer-term trends in the SF Bay Area and distill them for our audience, whether it’s via an explainer or reporting a new angle or digging through archives
- Consistently have ideas about stories that matter to people in San Francisco, the Bay Area and California at large
- Work autonomously when needed and meet deadlines consistently

- Monitor analytics and build an understanding of which stories resonate with readers and which don’t

Launched in 1994, SFGATE.com was one of the first large-market media sites in the world and served as the exclusive digital home of the San Francisco Chronicle for 19 years. In 2019, the Chronicle (which can now be found online at the paywalled... sfchronicle.com) and SFGATE officially became two separately run entities with their own editorial staffs and independent newsrooms.
Today, 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 eight 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 culture; Travel, covering everything from flight deals and travel news, to hotel hacks and under-the-radar day trips; Politics, where we keep you up to speed on all local, state and national politics that have implications on the Bay Area; Tech, covering the vast digital world and its real-life impacts; Food + Drink, where we tell you the backstory of the people behind the bar and in the kitchen; and News, plus has satellite contributing editors covering Lake Tahoe, California Parks, the Central Coast, Hawaii, Disneyland and Cannabis.
What you'll do:
Report to the SFGATE travel editor, writing up to 2 short news stories per day at their direction
Keep track of the all of the major travel infrastructure in the Bay Area, but also affected routes to beloved destinations outside of the Bay Area
Write occasional features that could range from a profile of an interesting travel figure to an experiential on a cool California destination
Work autonomously when needed and meet deadlines consistently
Communicate with the copy desk and editors in Slack
Monitor analytics and build an understanding of which stories resonate with readers and which don’t
Who you are:
You have 1 to 3 years of relevant news reporting experience at a newspaper or online news site
You're based in Southern California or willing to relocate by an agreed-upon date
You have a deep knowledge of California and the destinations in it that are important to people who are from here
You have a passion for journalism and telling stories
You've read SFGATE and have an understanding of the brand and voice
