Employee Story
“Democracy dies in darkness speaks to the power of journalism to hold those in authority in check, provide a voice to the voiceless, and empower citizens to think critically and make informed decisions,” says Senior Creative Lead Jessica Misener. It’s why she was excited to join a storied news legacy when she started at The Washington Post three years ago. Working in Client Solutions, Jessica and her team produce and edit custom content that makes clients proud and feels endemic to the renowned writing and reporting of The Post. Jessica’s work directly supports journalism that changes the world. And she gets to do it with colleagues she calls “kind, incredibly bright and dedicated to working together as one dynamic team.” #washpostlife

Everyone, no matter the department, works to ensure reliable news reaches all parts of the world. Helping toward that goal is a dream for Juan. Working as a senior billing analyst for the Arc XP team, Juan’s team makes sure all Arc XP clients receive accurate and timely invoices for services provided to help build their own content platforms. Starting in The Post’s finance team during the pandemic, Juan continues to be inspired by his colleagues. Committed to the mission, Juan and his colleagues find new ways to innovate in their positions and progress in their careers at The Post. “We’re so lucky to live in a world where all news can be accessed with the touch of a button. I believe it’s our responsibility to make that news accessible to those who need it the most and help shed light on the darkness that’s present in the world,” says Juan reflecting on his time at The Post.
