Public Narrative Observatory is an independent, non-partisan research initiative dedicated to studying how narratives are shaped, spread, and contested across Pakistan’s news and social media landscape. As we build a small founding team, we are seeking individuals with a background in journalism or mass communication who are passionate about media analysis and public discourse.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze the development of stories and narratives across various news outlets and social media platforms.
- Verify claims and trace the origins of information to ensure accuracy.
- Identify patterns in how issues are framed and communicated to the public.
- Translate research findings into clear, accessible writing and reports that can inform a broad audience.
Required Qualifications
- Strong familiarity with Pakistani media and the ability to recognize when a story appears to be “pushed” or influenced.
- Fluency in reading and writing Urdu is essential. Proficiency in a regional language such as Punjabi, Pashto, or Sindhi is a significant advantage.
- Ability to analyze content impartially from across the political spectrum without bias.
- Attention to detail with a strong commitment to factual accuracy.
- Comfortable working with spreadsheets and managing data.
Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
A genuine interest in media, propaganda, and the mechanisms through which public opinion is shaped will be highly valued. Candidates who already follow these topics closely are especially encouraged to apply.
To apply, please submit your CV along with a brief explanation of a recent news story or narrative that you found interesting, including your perspective on the forces driving it.
