About Edgar's Media

Edgar's Media is an independent arts and culture publication based in Minneapolis, MN. Our editorial identity is simple: Think critically. We publish constructive criticism and long-form features rooted in the conviction that the work is here — that the Midwest deserves the same rigor and seriousness given to New York or Berlin. We believe culture isn't a luxury; it's infrastructure.

About the Role

Editorial Board Members are advisors who help shape what Edgar's covers and how. The Board guides coverage priorities, upholds editorial standards, and protects the publication's independence as it grows from launch through its first years. Seeking 3-5 members to meet monthly.

Responsibilities

• Review and weigh in on pitches from contributing writers.

• Help define and refine coverage priorities across the Midwest arts & culture ecosystem.

• Uphold editorial standards, including our conflict-of-interest policy.

• Advise on editorial voice, ethics, and emerging coverage questions.

• Champion Edgar's within your networks and recommend writers, stories, and communities we should know

• Attend periodic meetings (virtual).

Who We're Looking For

• 10+ years of professional experience.

• Deep knowledge of arts & culture — as a writer, editor, curator, artist, organizer, scholar, or longtime participant.

• Commitment to constructive, rigorous criticism over promotional coverage.

• Strong editorial judgment and comfort giving direct, generous feedback.

• Connection to communities or disciplines that broaden our coverage.

• Prior editorial, publishing, or media experience is welcome but not required.

Conflict of Interest

To protect editorial independence, board members may not profit from or hold governance roles with organizations Edgar's regularly covers, and must disclose relationships that could affect their judgment on specific coverage decisions.
