Writer (Volunteer)

WhoWhatWhy

Writer (Volunteer) Note: This is a remote, part-time volunteer position. Please do not apply if you are only seeking paid employment. Today, pretty much anyone can hang out their shingle as a “writer.” And millions have. However, being part of a smart, experienced team of journalists working together, sharing ideas, and making each other’s work as strong as possible — that’s a different thing entirely. If you’re an experienced writer/reporter with strong expertise in politics, policy, world events, history, cultural commentary, or other areas that align with what we do, we’d love to hear from you. For some writers, this is a chance to work on bigger topics than they might otherwise get to cover, collaborate with deeply experienced editors, and produce clips that can open doors. For others, it’s an opportunity to stay engaged, contribute meaningfully, and be part of a serious journalistic team rather than working in isolation. We’re an independent, nonprofit news organization with a limited budget, so we especially welcome those who are not looking to us principally as an income source. Our writers range from pro bono to modestly paid (particularly those covering wars and international developments), and this can be discussed. Our atmosphere is convivial, supportive, and stimulating. Writers here have the chance to sharpen their work with strong editorial input, stretch into ambitious subject areas, and be part of a team that shares ideas and strengthens one another’s work. It’s a great add-on to your life — whether you become an “inside writer” or contribute periodically as a freelance collaborator. Who We Are WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit investigative news organization producing deep-dive journalism on the most pressing issues of our time. We’re powered by skilled volunteers and a small core staff — from students to seasoned professionals — who believe in ethical, independent journalism free from corporate or political influence. About the Role As a Writer, you will: - Pitch and develop story ideas aligned with our editorial focus - Conduct research using credible sources, including interviews when needed - Write articles, explainers, and investigative pieces based on approved pitches - Structure articles with a clear narrative flow (introduction, development, conclusion) - Support key points with accurate sourcing, attribution, and evidence - Collaborate with editors to revise drafts and strengthen content - Submit revisions within agreed timelines What We’re Looking For - Experience writing articles, essays, or long-form journalistic content - Experience conducting research using credible and verifiable sources - Experience organizing written content into structured, coherent narratives - Experience revising work based on editorial feedback or direction - Experience meeting deadlines in a writing, academic, or professional setting - Background in journalism, communications, or a related field Bonus (Not Required) - Experience in journalism, reporting, or editorial environments - Experience working with complex or technical subject matter - Experience writing for digital or online audiences - Subject-matter expertise (politics, legal, environment, technology, etc.) Commitment We ask for a commitment of 5–10 hours per week and a minimum of 6 months. Scheduling is flexible and based on story development and editorial timelines. How to Apply Please send: - Your resume or summary of relevant experience - A short cover letter explaining your interest in the role and our mission - 1–3 writing samples (published or unpublished) If you cannot upload your materials, email them to hr@whowhatwhy.org. Please check your spam folder for responses. Reminder We do not review mass-submitted or AI-generated applications. We value thoughtful, original submissions that reflect genuine interest in our work.
