Yellow Scene Magazine

Yellow Scene Magazine distributes 325,000 magazines throughout Boulder County and the North Metro area, giving us a prominent media presence and making us one of the most accessible publications in the region. We offer a casual, creative, enthusiastic work environment with high expectations, serious deadlines, and opportunities to collaborate with a hard-working team of editors, designers, account representatives, and one badass publisher. At Yellow Scene, we seek to find unique individuals who feel right at home in our eclectic, hectic, and creative environment. We often lovingly refer to ourselves as a group of scrappy, rag-tag beatniks. It is definitely NOT your typical corporate job, but is a great place for creatives and storytellers to grow. YS is a place to grow, but expect challenges&mdash;we are an independent, news magazine adhering to journalism standards.
 <div>Freelance writers, Investigative Journalists, and Beat Reporters

In the world of &ldquo;content writing&rdquo; (which we have a particular disdain for, see: https://yellowscene.com/2019/03/31/your-native-advertising-sucks-and-why-content-is-still-king), there are still a few beacons of local media that are staying true to the mission.

Yellow Scene Magazine may not be a national publication, but we have been around 20 years as an Independent in Boulder County. We cover arts, entertainment, news, politics, social issues, education, healthcare, science, oil &amp; gas, elections, food and drink, cannabis, and whatever else we think is worthy to talk about. We are proudly wide awake.

We have won over 160 awards for Excellence in Journalism since our inception in 2000 and have grown to the largest distributed publication in the region. Not bad for an Indie who has self-financed all the way, but it also means we are kind of demanding and generally broke. After all, we are staying true to what we do. You won&rsquo;t find a single &ldquo;Native Advertising&rdquo; article in our pages&mdash;ever.

We encourage writers to find their Voice. Factually based, of course, but you have a voice and are here to communicate it. You are not afraid of research (yep, it comes with the territory) and not afraid of direction. We are cranky, always broke, getting old, and we are picky. If this sounds like the ideal writing gig, then we are looking for a few true journalists who are as passionate as we are.

If out of state, then please indicate how you go about researching your subjects to get that insider&rsquo;s view.

Our Media Kit will give you the scoop, but reading our archives can be your first assignment.

Send your resume, but more importantly, your clips to: editorial@yellowscene.com</div>
