Join the Good Sauce team
The Good Sauce is a predominantly (but not exclusively) conservative media website for news and commentary. Our unique offering in the Australian new media space is the in-house production of videos and podcasts for a large number of independent commentators. We also feature exclusive and syndicated articles of high profile and emerging opinion writers.
Our commitment to transparency means we clearly distinguish between news and opinion, openly declare the experience and biases of our writers, and provide references to sources used to assist our audience to verify & weigh facts & opinions independently before reaching their own conclusions.
The ambitiousness of disrupting the entrenched corporate media model and returning the once widely-respected profession of journalism to standards of transparency & independence requires many hands. This work is more possible than ever before for citizen-journalists thanks to the democratising effect of the internet & affordable technology.
While we are in the growth phase of raising regular support and donations to fund these & other essential positions, all positions are currently voluntary. The great reward is the legacy we are building for better informed voters in our nations by redeeming the media industry.
If you would like to be a part of this challenging mission to provide a good source of media without the “progressive” flavour pretending to be objective, we are currently looking for the right volunteers for the following roles.
