Mediabistro is a media-industry intelligence platform focused on careers, hiring, and how creative work actually functions today.
For more than two decades, Mediabistro has served 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 are built for people who work in media and content, not adjacent industries, not generic knowledge work. That focus shapes everything we do.
What We Do
Jobs and hiring signals
Mediabistro runs 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 is changing, why it matters, and how it affects people doing the work.
Career leverage
Beyond listings, Mediabistro offers tools and resources designed to help professionals operate with more clarity and independence, including profiles, resume services, and premium features for active job seekers and freelancers.
Who It’s For
Mediabistro serves people who already work in media or are actively trying to.
That includes:
- Editors, writers, reporters, and journalists
- Producers, video talent, and creative leads
- Content, social, and audience growth professionals
- Designers, strategists, and marketers
- Freelancers and independent operators
- Hiring managers and teams inside media companies
Our audience is experienced, industry-literate, and career-conscious. They come to Mediabistro not just to apply, but to understand where the industry is heading.
For Employers
Mediabistro helps employers reach a highly concentrated, high-signal audience of media professionals.
Our platform supports everything from single job postings to unlimited hiring plans, branded employer pages, and targeted promotion through job alerts and newsletters. The result is fewer unqualified applicants and more relevant conversations.
Our History
Mediabistro was founded in New York City in 1999 and has remained focused on the media industry through multiple ownership cycles and market shifts. Today, it operates as an independent brand within CognoGroup, continuing to invest in product, editorial voice, and community relevance.
The mission remains simple: make the media job market more legible, efficient, and fair for the people working inside it.
