Company Profile

Company Description:

Cardinal News is a nonprofit digital news organization serving communities in Southwest and Southside Virginia. We were founded in the fall of 2021 to report the untold stories of these regions and strengthen the voices of the people in our communities who have been sidelined in the commonwealth’s political, economic and cultural conversations — simply because of where they live.

We were named Startup of the Year by the Institute for Nonprofit News in 2021, and LION Business of the Year by LION Publishers in 2025. We are continuing to grow rapidly, with expansion projects underway to deepen our reporting and broaden our local news network to better serve our communities.

We want our team members to feel supported in their work. We budget for training, travel, and the tools necessary to tell stories well. Our benefits include:

• Competitive pay
• Paid holidays and vacation time
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Contributions to health savings accounts
• A matching 401(k) plan
• Short- and long-term disability insurance
• Most importantly: collaborative, mission-driven teammates
