openDemocracy is a global non-profit media outlet. Our investigative journalism has triggered law change, criminal investigations and action by regulators, policymakers and public health bodies across the world. Our stories frequently get picked up by agenda-setting media, including the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, al Jazeera, the BBC, Guardian, New Yorker and Vanity Fair. Last year we were reported or syndicated in more than 60 outlets across 20 languages.
We are now seeking an experienced and accomplished investigative journalist to lead the US expansion for our growing global Tracking the Backlash project.
You will have a strong investigative track record and will be highly motivated to work on stories which focus on women’s and LGBTIQ rights and equality. You will be excited to work on joint projects with colleagues, freelancers, and trainee fellows in the US, and you will also collaborate on cross-border projects following the money, networks, strategies and impacts of the global opposition to rights and equality.
