A harrowing report into prisons by sianushka for openDemocracy. Prisons are pointlessly cruel institutions that cause more problems than they attempt to solve.

After 3 very successful years at openDemocracy, I am now looking for new #campaigning or #journalism roles. At oD, my reader-activation and public affairs campaigns covered issues as varied as government secrecy, greenwashing, journalistic freedom and dark money

Congrats to Adam Bychawski whose incredible work (dodgy PPE contracts, health disorders) just received a high commendation from The Press Awards.

Congratulations to Adam Bychawski, who came highly commended for 'Health Journalist of The Year' at the press awards, for his amazing work for openDemocracy 🥂🎉

Delighted to see Ben recognised for this work at openDemocracy - His story was so strong we built a whole campaign around it that saw thousands of readers email the CMA to demand action... Forcing them to launch a probe into sketchy industry claims.

I wrote about the Joe Lycett 'fake news' stunt and how it draws little attention to the real problems causing the spread of disinformation – but how it is very successful at drawing attention to Joe Lycett newstatesman.com/comment/2024/0…

I feel so lucky to have worked alongside Sam, his good humour and spot-on news sense have brought so much to oD - you should hire him to your newsroom so he can do the same for you

Ruby has broken some incredible investigative stories over recent years.
She has sadly just been made redundant.

She'd be a great hire for anyone ruby lott-lavigna

👍🏼👍🏼

Let's send her some support 👍🏼👍🏼

Any editor would be lucky to have Anita! She is a fantastic reporter who sensitively and expertly uncovers the stories that others have missed, and in doing so gives a voice to those who are so often overlooked in British media - hire her!!

I’ve been made redundant from openDemocracy along with several of the kindest, most supportive and talented people I’ve had the honour of working with

I’m now looking for new opportunities. Here are some of the stories I’m most proud of:

Ruby is such a talented journalist and her thoughtful and thorough coverage of the Covid inquiry has been second to none. She’s also just an all-round excellent political reporter who champions rights and challenges power in all her reporting. You should hire her!

If you run a UK media organisation, you should hire Adam immediately. He consistently produces high impact journalism that drives subs and reader engagement - I know because I saw the stats :)

Ramzy is honestly the best of editors and any newsroom would be crazy to pass up an opportunity to hire him

Adam is an incredible journalist whose original reporting is consistently shortlisted for national awards (and er, often quite shamelessly ripped off by much bigger publications). Any news room would be so lucky to have him!

Great to see The Times cover this letter calling for more transparency and accountability over university funding: opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-… Coordinated by openDemocracy, it follows a series of investigations we did last year.
