About LabourList and the Opportunity

LabourList is the leading dedicated media platform covering Labour politics, providing breaking news, insider analysis and robust party debate through our website, daily newsletter and events programme.

Supportive but independent of Labour, we help readers understand not just what is happening in the party, but why it matters. Our audience includes everyone from ministers and MPs to members, activists, policy experts and political professionals.

We are looking to expand our pool of talented freelance journalists who can contribute original reporting, analysis and multimedia content on a flexible basis.

We're looking for reporters who can write quick, clean and engaging copy, spot stories others miss, and bring fresh ideas to our coverage. You'll need to be itching to report on and analyse the Labour stories everyone is talking about, uncover stories no one else knows about, and explain clearly why they matter across a range of formats and platforms. As LabourList increases our video output, we are particularly keen to hear from journalists who can balance written journalism with video and audio content.

Assignments may include written articles, newsletters, live reporting, video and audio content, interviews and analysis. Work can be carried out remotely, although occasional attendance at Westminster, Labour Party Conference, elections and other political events may be required.
