Responsibilities

• Manage newsroom relations and press. Build relationships with journalists, editors and press offices. Write and coordinate press releases around our investigations, campaign launches and wins.
• Coordinate campaigns and volunteers. Liaise with our volunteer network, manage campaign launches end-to-end (timing, copy, outreach, follow-up) and keep momentum going.
• Critically analyse the news. Read coverage the way we do: spot the framing, the omissions, the double standards and the sourcing tricks. Evaluate which stories deserve a NewsCord response.
• Produce media analysis pieces. Use our in-house tech stack (cross-source coverage data, bias-scoring pipeline, Claude) to turn raw analysis into sharp, evidence-led pieces.
• Create social content. Design and craft compelling posts for X, LinkedIn and Instagram with images and infographics. You'll have Canva Pro and our visual identity to work with.

Requirements

• You look beyond the mainstream narrative and connect struggles to each other—backed by evidence.
• You write with precision and restraint: no filler, no jargon, every claim checkable.
• You're organised enough to run a campaign calendar and volunteer rota without being chased.
• You're comfortable being employee number one: scrappy, self-directed and happy to build the playbook as you go.
• Design sense matters. You know what stops a scroll and what gets skipped.

Preferred

• Recording short videos or voiceovers for news analysis explainers. Not required, but if you're comfortable on camera or behind a mic, we'll put it to good use.

Benefits

• Canva Pro subscription
• Claude Max subscription
• Thaura Pro subscription
• Access to media events, press briefings and industry gatherings
