WhoWhatWhy is seeking a gifted manager with the personality, creative problem solving, organizational skills, and leadership to help a rapidly growing news organization build structure and process for the newsroom and continuously tackle new challenges and opportunities.
WhoWhatWhy.org is a nonpartisan, agenda-free news organization. We’re not left wing, not right wing, not consensus-seeking; we report the truth, whatever it is. We approach each story with an open mind, boundless curiosity, and a willingness to dig deep beneath the surface — and we don’t back away in the face of pressure from powerful institutions and groupthink.
WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit. We are not funded by a zillionaire. We do not accept corporate ads. As such, we seek skilled volunteers to fill out our growing organizational infrastructure.
We value all levels of experience. We have among us young students, vibrant retirees, and everything in between, from all walks of life.
Join us!
