Remote Work Policy at Blk Signal
At Blk Signal, journalism doesn’t stop at the newsroom — and neither do we. Our remote work policy reflects the fast-paced, always-on nature of modern reporting, while also supporting flexibility, collaboration, and integrity in everything we do.
We’re a digital-first newsroom with a remote-friendly culture designed to empower our team to break stories, produce powerful content, and stay connected from anywhere.
Here’s how we work:
- Remote by Design
Whether you’re reporting from the field, editing from your home office, or coordinating stories across time zones, our infrastructure supports full remote operations. We use collaborative tools like Slack, Google Workspace, and project management platforms to keep workflows seamless and transparent. - Newsroom Responsiveness
While we offer flexibility, journalism is fast-moving. Reporters, editors, and producers are expected to maintain availability during agreed-upon core hours to respond to breaking news, editorial direction, or publishing deadlines. - Content is King, Clarity is Key
We prioritize quality, accuracy, and timeliness over location. Clear communication and proactive coordination are essential — especially in a remote environment. Everyone is responsible for contributing to a smooth editorial flow and maintaining high journalistic standards. - Equal Access, Equal Voice
Every team member, whether remote or local, has equal access to tools, meetings, feedback, and opportunities. We operate with a “remote-first” mindset to ensure collaboration, inclusivity, and transparency. - Trust and Accountability
Our remote policy is built on mutual trust. We empower team members to own their work, meet deadlines, and communicate needs. We don’t micromanage — we support.
At Blk Signal, we know that powerful journalism isn’t about where you are — it’s about how you show up. With the right tools, culture, and trust, our team delivers bold, truth-driven stories from wherever the signal reaches.
Blk Signal Vaccine Policy
At Blk Signal, we respect individual choice and believe in creating a safe, inclusive environment for all team members — whether remote or in the field.
Our Approach:
- Vaccination is Optional:
We do not require vaccinations for employment or assignments. Team members are free to make personal health decisions without pressure or judgment. - Respect for All Choices:
Whether vaccinated or not, everyone at Blk Signal is treated with equal respect. We foster a workplace where individual decisions are honored and privacy is maintained. - Health & Safety First:
While we don’t mandate vaccines, we ask all staff to act responsibly — including staying home when sick, practicing good hygiene, and following basic safety guidelines when working in-person. - Assignment Guidelines:
Some reporting venues or events may have their own health requirements. In such cases, we’ll notify staff in advance and do our best to accommodate individual needs or offer alternative assignments when possible. - Flexible Work Options:
Our remote-first structure supports team members in working safely and comfortably, regardless of location or health status.
We trust our team to make informed choices and take care of themselves and others. At Blk Signal, safety and respect go hand in hand.
