As you may have heard, the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, which produces The Local, is teaming up with New York magazine to launch a new site, Bedford + Bowery. We’ll still be covering the East Village and Lower East Side but we’ll also be jumping on the L train to cover Williamsburg, Bushwick and Greenpoint – where, of course, the East Village already has a strong presence.

Are you an experienced blogger or reporter who knows and loves these neighborhoods? We’re currently seeking contributors as well as a full-time deputy assistant editor. If you’re a lively storyteller who can break news, recruit fellow writers, and sniff out the best and latest in arts and culture please send your resumé over to Daniel Maurer at editor@bedfordandbowery.com.

We’re excited about this next venture. If you are too, sign up for The Local’s newsletter and follow us on Twitter and Facebook, where we’ll announce our launch in the next weeks.
