ProPublica is seeking a computational journalist to help us uncover abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust.
Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who will use technology and data to identify and unlock stories that would otherwise be out of reach. That could be renting a boat to test the Wi-Fi networks at Mar-a-Lago, using the power of programming to fingerprint and cluster propaganda videos, or crunching data from millions of child protective services cases to understand who is most affected by the system.
You’ll be part of ProPublica’s data team, working collaboratively with talented journalists throughout our newsroom. We like both quick scoops and ambitious undertakings. Journalism experience and the ability to code are must-haves.
What you’ll do at ProPublica:
Find, or build, the data that uncovers stories with an accountability lens.
Conduct analyses that detect bias, influence and other harms.
