• Writing compelling captions aligned with our editorial voice.
• Growing our audience organically through community engagement.
• Identifying trends while maintaining our editorial identity.
• Working with editors, writers and artists to showcase new features and projects.

• Has a strong eye for design, storytelling and visual presentation.
• Understands what performs well on Instagram and Tiktok without relying on clickbait.
• Is interested in journalism, culture, current affairs or the creative industries.

About Clandestine

Explore the world — 12 topics.

Clandestine Magazine is an independent publication dedicated to investigative journalism, the cultural zeitgeist and the ideas shaping our time.

We believe in rigorous reporting, thoughtful storytelling and publishing work that is both intellectually engaging and thought-provoking. Our pages bring together investigative features, long-form essays and distinctive voices from around the world.

We are not a conventional magazine. Our editorial landscape spans 12 topics —

Affairs — World Affairs, Cities, Environment, Philosophy, Politics and the Progressive World.

Culture — Art, Fashion, Film, Literature, Music and Technology.

Alongside our core editorial, we publish 'Injustices', examining global issues, overlooked stories and the realities that often escape the headlines. 'Gonzo' features immersive, first-hand reporting, offering deeply personal perspectives on people, places and experiences, while 'Essays' provides a home for considered long-form writing and original thought. Creativity is equally central to Clandestine, and through our 'Your Art Here' section, we offer emerging and established artists a place to showcase their work, celebrating originality and the creative voices that shape the creative disciplines of today.

Beyond publishing, we are committed to supporting charitable initiatives that help those facing hardship. Kindness, compassion and respect for others remain central to our ethos, shaping both our work and the community we continue to build. We work alongside registered charities and currently run two of our own initiatives — a community kitchen providing support for those in need, and a 'Tap for the Homeless' scheme, offering a simple way to provide essential assistance to people experiencing homelessness.

More than a magazine, Clandestine is a collective of curious minds, writers, artists and readers brought together by a shared appreciation for thoughtful journalism and culture.
