We are thrilled to announce that First Draft is expanding: We are planning election projects in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Indonesia, South Africa, Spain and Uruguay, plus a cross-border project to investigate misinformation tactics and trends in Europe. To do this work, we have posted the following jobs for our London and New York offices:

London

Coming soon:
Office Manager
Team and Training Assistant
Product Manager
Digital Content Producer
Digital/UX Designer
Digital Content Editor

New York

Coming soon: Bureau Administrator

With thanks to ongoing support from key funders, First Draft operates as an independent entity with headquarters in London and a New York Bureau housed at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. Our London office is near Kennington Park. If you are interested in working on this challenging topic with us, or know someone who is, please apply.

In three and a half years, First Draft has gone from a gathering of people working in verification to help establish standards and build skills, to a project that carries out fieldwork, research and training. We’re excited as the prospect of having a larger staff to expand our work, and will keep you posted along the way.

All the best,

Claire, Jenni and Aimee
