Company Profile
The Seattle Globalist
Company Overview
The Seattle Globalist is an award-winning nonprofit news and education organization dedicated to elevating diverse voices through media. We cover local-global issues—everything from immigration and politics to food, music, and the environment. The Globalist is working to transform the face of media in the US, where people of color, immigrants, women, LGBTQ people and many other groups are sorely underrepresented.
We are a young, dynamic organization that is growing fast and part of an ever-shifting media landscape. In 2016 we received two top awards from our local Society of Professional Journalists chapter: First Place for General Excellence in small daily news publications, and the Innovator of the Year award for our education work, which is aimed at diversifying the media.
We have published stories by more than 500 contributors based in Seattle and all over the world. We are committed to supporting new writers, and we’re a first publisher for many of our journalists. The Seattle Globalist is a fast-growing publication and community organization in the fastest growing city in the U.S.
We offer a highly collaborative, creative working environment. We’re seeking responsible, independent candidates who will work well as part of a small, close-knit team. We support professional development opportunities for every staff member.
