Informup is a nonprofit news startup based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dedicated to ensuring that communities have timely information about local governance and that their collective voices are acted on by elected officials. We restore the feedback loop of local journalism by providing accessible reporting on public meetings, soliciting representative community feedback, and accurately relaying those preferences back to decision-makers.
Each week, Informup reporters cover the issues that matter most in Pittsburgh City Council and other public bodies, pair that reporting with structured community surveys, and deliver residents’ preferences directly to officials during public comment. Our work is nonpartisan and evidence-based, and our goal is meaningful civic participation that reflects the community as a whole—not only those privileged enough to be represented today.
Why join Informup? As part of the team, you'll:
- Contribute to a mission-driven organization dedicated to amplifying community perspectives and informing public officials.
- Help shape the future of civic engagement by restoring meaningful dialogue between constituents and their representatives.
- See a direct line from your work to real outcomes: the audience you build becomes the community feedback we deliver to elected officials in council chambers.
While we don't have any roles open at the moment, we're always looking to connect with folks interested in building tools that support our local democracies.
