Job Description

Daily Maverick is seeking a sharp, driven, and community-minded Junior Food Justice Reporter to join us. This is an opportunity for a budding journalist to dive deep into systemic issues affecting South Africa's food systems, rural development, and human rights. If you're passionate about Food Justice, we would love to consider your application. 


This role features a specialized 75% editorial focus on producing high-impact food justice articles, with the remaining 25% allocated to broader coverage for Maverick Citizen. As an Independent Contractor, you will collaborate closely with the Human Development News Editor to translate complex supply chain economics, agricultural policies, and grassroots struggles into compelling, human-centric narratives.
