Are you passionate about privacy and cybersecurity?

Privacy Guides is an international nonprofit dedicated to producing top-tier, unbiased educational content and journalism, and to fostering safe and informative online communities to discuss technical topics around improving personal privacy and cybersecurity.

Privacy Guides is looking for a focused and motivated individual to be responsible for our social media presence from end to end, with a particular emphasis on video content. You must be comfortable being on camera to succeed in this role.

This is a unique opportunity. Your primary goal will be to create and share privacy-based educational materials, without any motive to sell a product. If you truly value being able to create the best content that you can, and if you are passionate about privacy, then this position is for you!

Your responsibilities will include, but aren’t limited to:

- Scripting and hosting educational video content to be posted across various social media platforms.
- Video editing, production, and other backend work required to make successful content.
- Researching new topics to cover.
- Regular, daily posting to text-based social media platforms like Mastodon.
- Regular posting of highly educational video content to social media platforms.
- Compiling news sources for and hosting a weekly news recap (livestreamed) podcast on our YouTube channel on a regular schedule.
- Regularly communicating with the Privacy Guides committee and other team members.
- Skeptical nature and drive to investigate difficult, often niche, technologies. You will need to evaluate the truthfulness of claims.

title: Journalist
description: Privacy Guides is looking for a determined and focused journalist to research and write stories from the privacy and cybersecurity space on a regular basis.

Are you passionate about privacy and cybersecurity?

Privacy Guides is an international nonprofit dedicated to producing top-tier, unbiased educational content and journalism, and to fostering safe and informative online communities to discuss technical topics around improving personal privacy and cybersecurity.

We are looking for a determined and focused journalist to join our team. As a reporter for our organization, you will conduct research, interview sources, and write engaging stories in the field of consumer privacy and cybersecurity.

Our ideal candidate is committed to combating misinformation and clearly communicating stories on a timely basis, and dedicated to producing top-tier, unbiased journalism.

Privacy Guides is a small, largely volunteer-driven nonprofit media organization, and we do not currently have a dedicated writing and editing team. As such, you will be expected to take charge of the entire writing process from beginning to publication. You will have the freedom to choose which topics to cover and set a schedule to release articles on our main website.

==Our primary mission is to publish the highest quality content surrounding consumer privacy and cybersecurity on the internet==, not the highest quantity of stories. You will be empowered to dive deep into the topics you are writing about, and expected to meet our high quality and editorial standards.

Your responsibilities will include, but aren’t limited to:

- Creating high-quality articles for our [knowledge base](../../basics/why-privacy-matters.md).
- Performing product reviews for our [reviews](https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/category/reviews/) section and [tool recommendations](../../tools.md).
- Researching new topics to cover.
- Interviewing and fact-checking all relevant sources.
- Regular posting of high-quality, unbiased journalistic content across our platforms.

As a guideline, we expect roughly 3-5 articles a week that meet our quality standards, since we believe a well-researched article will take at least 8 hours to research and write on average. We realize some articles can be completed quickly, while others may take weeks or longer before publishing. You will be empowered to use your best judgement and prioritize your work accordingly.

We are much more interested in articles that deeply cover the subject area than articles that cover the news of the day.
