MLK50: Justice Through Journalism is an award-winning nonprofit digital news site based in Memphis, Tennessee. Our work focuses on the intersection of poverty, power and policy. We examine the systems that make it hard for workers to make ends meet and interrogate those who profit from the status quo. Our goal is to help Memphians — especially workers — have enough resources to thrive and demand that public and private policy support their success. We strive for our newsroom culture to reflect the values we prize: community, accountability, courage, and justice.

MLK50 is seeking a creative and strategic Community Engagement Manager to help grow and deepen our relationship with residents, readers, supporters, and the broader community. This role is ideal for a natural connector who understands the importance of connecting communities with the information they need to participate in the decisions that impact their lives. Within the newsroom, you will work as a bridge between the editorial and business sides of the organization, crafting audience and community experiences that inspire trust, deepen connection, and support civic engagement.
