Staff Diversity

Martin Cid Magazine operates across 21 language markets. Producing journalism at that scale requires editorial contributors who understand the cultures they cover — not translators working from a single editorial center.

How we work

Our editorial work spans six continents. The contributors involved in MCM’s production reflect the markets the publication serves. We compose, not translate. That principle starts with who does the work.

What we do not consider

We do not factor ethnicity, race, national origin, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, religious belief, or political affiliation into editorial assignments or contributor relationships. Editorial work is assigned on the basis of editorial competence, market familiarity, and subject expertise.

We do not require contributors to align with any political position. We do not screen contributors by ideology. Our editorial scope excludes partisan and electoral coverage entirely, which makes political alignment irrelevant to our work.

What we look for

Editorial judgment. Cultural fluency in the market the contributor serves. Reliability. Voice. Curiosity. A working understanding of what makes serious cultural journalism — and what makes pretentious cultural journalism — and the discipline to write the first and not the second.

Our only belief

Our only belief is imagination.
