  • About Puck :

    At Puck, we believe that journalists are society's original influencers. Yet the digital media economy of the last decade created an insurmountable rift between journalists and their followings. Puck exists to change that; we want to return power back to journalists by creating a media platform owned and operated by the journalists themselves. Puck is a news brand dedicated to the inside story, hyper-focused on the four power corners of American culture : Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Washington, and Hollywood. We are focused on the "last mile" of news - what the insiders are really saying.

    Puck was founded by media industry veterans and a handful of entrepreneurial journalists. We launched in September 2021 and have been featured in The New York Times, Axios, Bloomberg, and other leading publications. We most recently raised a Series B with TPG Growth, Standard Investments, and J Rothschild Capital Management. We are headquartered in Manhattan with a nationally distributed workforce.

    Salary : $90,000 - $100,000
