A well informed society is essential to a healthy democracy, but we're seeing a rising tide of misinformation, the erosion of our media institutions, and audiences turning away from traditional news. The news business needs disruptive players to rethink the way we inform, entertain, and connect with audiences.
Gazette fills a critical gap in the media landscape with free, high-quality news delivered online around the nation. We are building a stable of authentic, local voices to reach people where they are, build trust, and inform them on what's happening and why.
As a startup with rapid growth goals and big ambitions, we are looking for strong, ambitious journalists who are ready to build, experiment, develop their voice and find their audience. Is that you?
