The career platform for media professionals
Mediabistro is a media-industry career platform focused on jobs, hiring, and how creative work actually functions today.
We serve writers, editors, producers, marketers, designers, and media operators navigating a fast-shifting industry. What started as a job board has evolved into a place where professionals track opportunities, understand industry movement, and make better career decisions.
We're built specifically for people who work in media and content. That focus shapes everything we do.
"In an age of synthetic content, the distinct voice of a human creator is the ultimate asset."
— Miles Jennings, CEO
What We Do
Three pillars that help media professionals navigate and advance their careers.
Jobs & Hiring Signals
The leading job board dedicated exclusively to media, content, and creative roles. Employers use it to reach experienced, industry-specific talent. Professionals use it to identify where hiring is occurring, which roles are emerging, and which companies are investing.
Industry Context
Through our weekly newsletter and editorial coverage, we track shifts across media, entertainment, advertising, publishing, platforms, and the creator economy. We focus on what's changing, why it matters, and how it affects people doing the work.
Career Leverage
Beyond listings, Mediabistro offers tools and resources to help professionals operate with more clarity and independence—including profiles, resume services, and premium features for job seekers and freelancers.
Who It's For

Our Story
Mediabistro was founded in New York City in 1999—before social media, before the creator economy, before most of today's platforms existed.
We've remained focused on media through multiple ownership cycles and market shifts. Today, we operate as an independent brand within CognoGroup, continuing to invest in product, editorial voice, and community relevance. Learn more about our story →
