Responsibilities include:
-
Helping launch and run live coverage, while providing guidance and support on anything from content to tools to organization and communication.
-
Skilfully editing and shaping briefings, blogs, chats and more and helping shape and define that skillset going forward.
-
Generating new ideas for live coverage and informing best practices in a changing news landscape.
-
Forming strong partnerships with journalists across the newsroom and in bureaus throughout the world.
-
Running the evening shift for live coverage in London, as part of a five-person team.
We’re looking for someone who has the following:
-
Strong news judgment, quick decision making and ability to assign stories and direct coverage.
-
A passion for storytelling and infusing that skill into live news.
-
A desire to learn new tools and journalism forms — and an interest in shaping them for the future.
-
Strong communication and interpersonal skills and an eagerness to coach and support
These roles will be swing shifts that are based in London but cover the world, including events in the US.
