Guardian US

Culture

 

The Guardian is a global news organization that delivers fearless, independent journalism.

From breaking news and award-winning investigations, to in-depth coverage of technology, sports, film, culture and lifestyle, the Guardian offers a global view that deepens our audience’s understanding of America and the world.

Headquartered in New York City, we are an entirely digital operation that seeks to engage US readers by combining the Guardian's international coverage with US voices and expertise. Core coverage areas include the climate crisis, economic and racial inequality, gun violence, politics and more.

Guardian US launched in 2011 and today has bureaux in New York, Washington DC, New Orleans and Los Angeles.

Growth and development

We encourage a culture of feedback and self-improvement, offering resources and support to help our employees achieve their career goals and embrace new challenges. Employees have access to a broad range of tools and solutions, and we are happy to support the pursuit of professional qualifications through vocational courses and apprenticeships.

We also offer easy-to-access tools to help our employees prioritize their wellbeing, including a free Headspace subscription, access to affordable fitness memberships, and an employee assistance program.

We believe that by nurturing our employees’ professional development and personal wellbeing, we can ensure that our employees will thrive and grow alongside our organization.

Here’s some of our outstanding coverage

Over the past year, Guardian US has added more than 50 new staff members – including more than 30 journalists – and new coverage areas like investigations, US soccer and wellness.

We have been relentless in our coverage of 2024’s unpredictable presidential contest, including early coverage of the far-right Project 2025. We have been ahead of the curve in closely following misinformation around voting, systematic attempts to interfere with the democratic process, and threats of political violence in key swing states – a series we are calling the election office. This includes Trump’s plans to steal the election by seeding doubt about the integrity of the vote months before polling day, as supporters have done in Georgia.

Our industry-leading coverage of the climate crisis has also continued with a focus on extreme weather, the big oil companies and corporations that cause it, and the vulnerable communities of color who suffer most.

I truly believe there is no place like the Guardian. Global, cross-cultural, vibrant – it’s not only a decent place to work, but an exciting one. Being mission-driven means that colleagues are brought together not just by a common employer but by their commitment to journalism grounded in progressive values, steeped in a 200-year history.

The Guardian has built a very large audience in the US both because of its global perspective of the news, and for its reputation for providing high-quality journalism without a paywall. I’m excited about the challenges ahead, which include exciting new strategies to serve our audience, and innovative work with partners who want to reach them.
