SVP - People, Culture & Strategy Leader

• Jun 2022 - Present

The News Movement (TNM) is a new media business bringing together leading industry figures and young, passionate journalists to help reset how we tell “the news” in an era of declining trust and increasing misinformation. We know that many voices are missing from the present conversation - we want to change that. We are driven by our purpose - to help millions of people around the world be better informed. We will do that by solving the under-supply of trusted, objective, high-quality news and useful information on social media and other digital platforms. There are four main parts of our business: The News Movement’s own journalism, partnerships helping other media organizations reach younger audiences under the “With TNM” umbrella, helping brands with their own storytelling so they can connect with the next generation of talent or consumers, and the data analytics business of becoming experts in the Gen Z audience. Together we are an inclusive movement of creators and communities, inspired by new ways of telling stories that fuel curiosity, creativity and change. We are driven by our mission - to empower free society. We are particularly focused on serving younger audiences between 18 and 30 and believe that factual, unbiased journalism can be told in different and exciting ways via the channels that our audiences already enjoy. We want to explain the world and uncover the stories that matter. And we have fun along the way, being brave, being kind, being honest and being curious. We are growing 25% month over month, making us the fastest growing news company today. No-bias news and original reporting, when and where you want it. @thenewsmovement www.thenewsmovement.com Show less
