Work With Us

Event promotion

The Dirt has a large following across print, web, email, and social media. If you’re hosting an event we can spread the word. 

Advertising

The Dirt operates on advertising revenue from trusted local partners. We accept advertising from candidates and organizations aligned with our editorial mission of community wellbeing, equity, and human rights. All advertising is labeled and does not influence our newsroom’s editorial decisions.

Please email our advertising director Aaron Wedra at smartzgraphics@yahoo.com for our media kit.

Submissions

The Dirt loves to publish submissions, but cannot publish articles that have published elsewhere. Original works only, please!

Internships

The Dirt offers internships through DJUSD and UC Davis. Please send an introduction email and any relevant clips to hanna@thedirt.online.

Pitch us

Do you know a really interesting person we should write a feature about? A unique work of art that’s really worth a second or third or fourth look? A new club you think the community should know about? A business that just makes sense? If you’re talking about it, let us know.

Press releases

The Dirt is pleased to be a resource for community news. Please add hanna@thedirt.online to your press release list, and we will publish online and in print as space allows.
