Job Details
Job Description:
The Wall Street Journal is looking for a video journalist to join its news and specials unit.
Video journalists are responsible for producing topical and timely, news-focused videos. We're looking for someone with a professional background in video journalism and who demonstrates exceptional shooting and editing skills.
You will juggle many tasks and should be excited about covering the day's news events across a variety of coverage areas. The ability to react quickly is essential, as is the ability to add depth and context to a story while bringing challenging topics to life visually.
Please note, this is not an entry-level position and it is not a position producing documentaries. Because this is a role focused on producing timely news coverage, candidates need to show successful executions of projects that stand out in the 24/7 information cycle.
To apply, please submit a cover letter clearly outlining how your skills and experience meet or exceed the key candidate requirements, along with links to five videos that represent the type of work described.
While you may start this job remotely, you will eventually be based in our NYC office. You will report to the Senior Executive Producer, News and Specials.
