New remote jobs and the next global call
Howdy, hacks and hackers! This week, we found more remote jobs than jobs in person. Work anywhere around the world at cool places like GIJN, the Washington Post and High Country News.
And don't forget, anyone is welcome to join our global call next Wednesday. We'll be discussing the MisinfoCon Slack channel and upcoming changes to Meetup groups.
