Scalawag

Scalawag is a media startup focused on the American South, pioneering a new model of non-profit, mission-driven journalism. Based in Durham, North Carolina, we’re entering our third year as a print quarterly with additional online content. We amplify voices of writers, artists, and thinkers to reckon with the South—and our work has been featured in The New York Times, The Nation, The New Republic, and The Atlantic. Our young, diverse, Southern team has experience in presidential campaigns, top management consulting firms, civil rights law, academic research, non-profit development, and journalism across the South.
