Job Description

This job entails producing and editing content for web platforms end-to-end. The ideal candidate is a digital journalist who is experienced in writing scripts, reporting and sourcing information, collecting assets, producing and editing digital video, and posting it on social platforms.  A passion for entertainment news, celebrities and pop culture is a definite must.  

The ideal candidate is creative, adaptable, and very fast at writing and creating digital video content.

Job duties include creating entertainment news digital video for consumption on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and AccessOnline.com. These digital-first news stories are created by YOU from start to finish – meaning you’re responsible for collecting assets, VO’ing scripts, editing the video and publishing it across multiple digital platforms. Required responsibilities would include covering events in the areas of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Washington D.C., and sometimes in New York City.

The ideal candidate should have prior experience in entertainment video production, proven video editing skills, and a clear understanding of the key difference between traditional media and digital-first content.
