Food & Dining Editor

The Miami Herald is looking for an enterprising and innovative food writer with an understanding of Miami’s many different communities and what food means to them, how food can unite a diverse city and the ways Miami is growing as an international culinary destination. This is a vital beat at a news organization that aims high and has landed 23 Pulitzer Prizes. We’re just as serious about our food coverage, which has produced two James Beard awards.   The ideal candidate is passionate about finding only-in-Miami stories, knows about our beloved institutions, loves to hunt down the best holes-in-the-wall and is truly interested in telling stories about places where locals actually dine. This journalist should be game to explore what’s new in Miami’s culinary scene, from high end to fast casual.  This reporter should have exceptional writing skills and embrace creative storytelling, from reels to podcasts. You are not expected to write starred reviews, but you can explore Miami’s restaurants in new and creative ways, giving readers a window into Miami life that few other beats can offer.
