New Knowledge is looking for a Content Writer who can inspire, educate, and shape a compelling narrative on patterns of online disinformation.
Disinformation is becoming part of collective consciousness. But people don’t have the words to talk about it yet. The public only sees small, disconnected glimpses of the problem. And at the core, this is an information ecosystem problem. We are the defenders of information integrity in an increasingly manipulated world. And that will be your story to tell.
New Knowledge is on a mission to defend public discourse. We build products that repair online communities, identify manipulation, and help them communicate more authentically. In a world where social media is being manipulated on a massive scale, this is no small task. We care about protecting communities, brands, and companies from being targeted by the spreading of disinformation. The kind of people who work with us have to be passionate about that challenge and mission.
We help companies understand and defend themselves against online disinformation. Day-to-day you'll work with a rapidly growing team of intelligence analysts and machine learning experts. You'll conduct investigations, interpret data, and write stories about your analysis for executives, government partners, and journalists. Collaborating will be huge, and there's a lot to do - there's no shortage of exciting work.
