The GroundTruth Project Response

We are so sorry to hear the communication issues you are facing. We have since hired a new COO in Dec and hope this has alleviated some of the time challenges leadership was experiencing while trying to keep their foot on the gas. We have achieved recruiting and securing the number of newsrooms we had projected for 2021 and are very excited about recruiting our 2021 Corps members. We thank everyone for their efforts and look forward to working as a team in achieving our goals.

Pros

The team is increasingly diverse and fully dedicated to its mission, and there is a feeling of being part of a movement to save journalism and save democracy. The work feels important and the team feels inspired. There has been a lot of hard work around creating more diversity, equity and inclusion and an admirable attention by the whole team to a culture that allows people to feel like they belong.

Cons

The dramatic growth of this organization has definitely made it a place where people work hard, and are driven by their own sense of purpose but also by a leadership team that demands a lot. That can present challenges around burnout.
