I started working on the #TwitterFiles months ago in the hope of answering a question about whether or not the government was teaming up with private platforms to censor political content. The answer quickly proved a decisive yes, but I’ve since run into a larger, more troubling problem that’s going to require many more person-hours and digging to understand.

For a one-time project we’re aiming to publish in March, Racket needs a hand. We’re looking for the following:

— a reporter or academic with experience researching government contracts, and/or the funding of NGOs or academic research institutions

— an infographics designer, preferably with experience in areas like ecosystem mapping

we’re trying to map a new wing of the U.S. government’s propaganda apparatus that popped into view thanks to the Twitter Files.

I want to put labels on our own propaganda, and need your help to do it.
