Lake Effect News is always looking for good content. Send us your stories and pictures about news and events in your neighborhood.
We offer paid freelance opportunities on a limited basis. We want to help unemployed journalists as we try to re-figure out “this thing of ours.” If you want to keep your hand in the game and your name out there, please contact us.
As we grow, we hope to expand paid freelance opportunities. We don’t expect professionals to write for free. For the near term, our rates of compensation are low, but they’ll help you buy groceries.

Your Commentary
We strive to include all opinions, even if it differs from our own. You don’t have to be a professional writer. While we encourage a diversity of opinion, we reserve the right to not publish commentary that is libelous, attacks persons or institutions based solely on hate for any religion or ethnic group, or rambles without a discernable point.
Internships
Lake Effect News offers a wide variety of unpaid student internship opportunities, from reporting and editing, to business, Web design and digital technology. By helping us, we offer you hands-on, real world experience and class credits.
