    Data Analyst

    At a time of rising misinformation and declining trust in news organizations, Branch Four is working to strengthen local, fact-based reporting across the country.

    Founded by a data science executive, Branch Four is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings data and technology expertise directly to local newsrooms. We help fact-driven news organizations publish investigative stories, grow their audiences, and build informative products to serve communities for the long-haul.

    Volunteer with us to strengthen local journalism from the ground up!

    What You'll Do:

    • Gather, clean, and analyze data
    • Create visualizations
    • Develop data-driven insights and story ideas
    • Develop unique ways to display data and insights

    Required Skills:

    • Proficiency in Python or R

    Time commitment: 5–7 hours a week for 2 months, with the option to extend.

    Make an impact: We’ll match you with a local newsroom to provide data support that powers fact-based reporting across communities.
