Infrastructure Intern, The Block

The Block stands out for the pedigree of journalists it employs - like former Business Insider journalist Frank Chaparro who hosts The Block’s weekly podcast, ‘The Scoop’, or Editor-in-Chief Sarah Kopit, a former editor at Bloomberg - and has developed a reputation for focused and in-depth analysis and news.

In 2022, it was revealed that The Block had received significant funding from the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, badly undermining the company's independence and damaging its reputation. This led to The Block's CEO stepping down and being replaced and an acquisition by Foresight Ventures. Since this shake-up, The Block has experienced a 40% growth in pageviews and a 33% rise in unique users, indicating that faith has been restored in the publication.
