Mill Media: Staff Writer
The Mill is the founding publication of Mill Media, which since being started in June 2020, has become a new force in British journalism, publishing high quality local journalism in six UK cities. The company has been described as “one of the most interesting and impressive media startups of the last decade,” by the FT’s John Burn-Murdoch, and as “very, very impressive” by the Wall Street Journal’s editor Emma Tucker.
Over the past few years, The Mill has become known for its major stories, including an investigation that led to the resignation of Andy Burnham’s advisor Sacha Lord, a story that was listed for the prestigious Paul Foot Award. And our investigation into the University of Greater Manchester has led to a major police investigation and the suspension of senior officials, including the vice chancellor, and has been mentioned several times in parliament.
This is a job for a journalist who believes in our mission, loves the kind of reporting we do and is passionate about applying our brand of journalism to many more stories in the years ahead. We need someone who has a natural flair for writing — who will deliver the kind of stories our readers look forward to when they open our newsletters.
