The Wall Street Journal is seeking a senior video journalist for its New York-based original video team.
Senior video journalists are responsible for producing topical, news-focused and feature videos, ranging in length from two to seven minutes. Top candidates for this position will have a professional background in video journalism, demonstrate exceptional shooting and editing skills and have experience with graphics.
Those in this role juggle many tasks and should be excited about pitching, developing, researching and reporting stories, shooting and editing videos – both in the studio and in the field – and working
collaboratively with WSJ’s reporters and editors across a variety of coverage areas. Because this is a global news operation, candidates need to show successful executions of timely news projects that have been done in a short time frame, as well as videos produced with longer lead times.
Applicants must be able to manage multiple projects in various stages of production and to work late hours and weekends both as part of a regular weekend rotation and as news developments warrant.
