Job Description
This is a rare opportunity to join an established team with a decade-long track record for producing impactful, award-winning investigations. You will be involved in developing projects from start to finish, putting your creative mark on the entire production process.
As a photojournalist and editor, you will help the team develop story ideas and shape the visual look of a wide range of investigative reports from the longer format, documentary-style projects for television and streaming platforms, to faster-paced investigations stemming from breaking news.
We are looking for someone who is highly versatile. Someone who can help conceive the stylistic feel of a streaming series, skillfully light magazine-style interviews, and edit multi-part projects but can also shift gears and shoot and edit quicker turn pieces and live shots when the unit is responding to breaking news or producing follow-up reports on rolling/developing investigations.
