Job Description

The Institute for Justice is seeking a full-time, in-house, multimedia journalist to join our award-winning production team located in the Washington DC area.

This unique role will document and tell stories about everyday Americans who want to earn an honest living, own and enjoy their property, speak freely, and give their children a good education but find that the government is standing in their way.

Because we are a 501(c)3 organization, stories will not include national politics, the executive branch, etc.
