Data journalist
More and more mainstream news stories are based on selective analysis of the data and motivated reasoning. We are looking for a data journalist who enjoys fearless truth seeking and finding the flaws in lazy popular narratives.
Alongside our news and comment articles, we are publishing more and more analysis containing original data analysis, charts and compelling presentation of evidence. The data might come from reports, government statistics, polling, military data — anything where looking at the numbers can help to explain what's really going on.
We are now seeking a full-time data journalist to join us in shaping and enriching this critical aspect of our coverage.
