About Mill Media
Joining our team means becoming part of Mill Media, a forward-thinking organization established in 2020. Our success is rooted in a fundamental principle: allowing journalists the necessary time to craft exceptional narratives.
In recent years, this philosophy has positioned Mill Media as a significant player in the media landscape, recognized for our innovative approach to journalism. Our new publication will embody the same core values as our existing platforms while evolving to leverage the wealth of journalistic talent available in a major media hub.

- Leading the editorial team, starting with a small group of writers and expanding as the publication grows.
- Contributing to the overall success of the organization by participating in editorial projects from other regions and engaging in strategic discussions.
- Writing personal articles when editorial demands allow.
