Radio Ambulante is hiring an Administrative Assistant to support the CEO.
Radio Ambulante is a groundbreaking Spanish language podcast that uses long-form audio journalism to tell neglected and under-reported Latin American and Latino stories. We want to offer an alternative to simplistic media portrayals of this region, and in the process, introduce new Latino and Latin American voices into the American media conversation.
Since our launch in 2012, Radio Ambulante has produced more than 100 episodes from more than 20 countries. In 2014, we won the Gabriel Garcia Marquez Award for Innovation in Journalism, the most prestigious journalism award in Latin America. In 2016, Radio Ambulante signed a distribution deal with NPR, becoming NPR’s first Spanish-language podcast.
