The ideal candidate to lead this effort is well-versed in financial media and has a record of accomplishment in launching editorial projects that adhere to the highest standards of accuracy and fairness. We also need somebody who is comfortable wearing multiple hats—writer, reporter, editor, team leader—and working in a fast-paced environment. Salary commensurate with experience.

About NewsGuard

Our analysts, who are trained journalists, rate and review online news sources based on nine basic, apolitical journalistic criteria to help readers and viewers know which ones follow basic standards of credibility and transparency–and which do not. NewsGuard was founded by –Steven Brill (award-winning journalist and co-founder of The American Lawyer, CourtTV, and other companies) and Gordon Crovitz (former publisher of the Wall Street Journal). NewsGuard’s data is used by a wide range of companies and institutions to combat misinformation, including the World Health Organization, the U.S. State Department and U.S. Cyber Command, the U.K. government, technology companies such as Microsoft and BT, and a wide range of research and academic partners.
