Gulf Coast Times is currently seeking volunteer contributors who are interested in helping cover local stories, events, people, opinions, sports, and community updates across Brazoria County.
As a growing local news platform, our goal is to build something that gives the community a stronger voice. Brazoria County is filled with stories worth telling, from school events and local sports to small businesses, city updates, community concerns, fundraisers, festivals, and everyday people making a difference. To cover those stories well, we want to give aspiring writers and local voices a chance to be part of that mission.
At this time, contributor positions with Gulf Coast Times are volunteer-based. As the site grows and begins generating steady revenue, we plan to offer pay-per-article opportunities for contributors. For now, this is an opportunity for people who want to gain experience, build a writing portfolio, get involved in local journalism, or simply help shine a light on what is happening in our community.
We are looking for aspiring journalists, students, community members, event reporters, opinion writers, sports writers, and others who have an interest in writing about local topics. Previous journalism experience is not required, but contributors should have basic writing ability, a strong interest in the local community, and a willingness to fact-check information before submitting work.
Students are welcome to apply. However, anyone who is 17 or younger will need parental permission before contributing.
Gulf Coast Times is currently focused on Brazoria County. As the site grows and reaches the point where expansion makes sense, we plan to broaden coverage into additional areas along the Gulf Coast. For now, our priority is building a strong foundation right here at home.
Contributors may help cover a variety of topics, including local events, school and youth activities, sports, community announcements, business features, opinion pieces, public interest stories, and more. All submitted work must be original and should be written with accuracy, fairness, and respect for the community in mind.
This is not just about filling a website with articles. It is about creating a place where local stories can be seen, shared, and taken seriously. Gulf Coast Times is being built with the community in mind, and we believe local contributors can play an important role in helping it grow.
Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer contributor can reach out through the Contact Us page on Gulf Coast Times. Applications can be submitted through the contact form or by calling the number listed on the site.
We look forward to hearing from people who care about local stories and want to help build something meaningful for Brazoria County.
