WSJ seeks video journalist

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a highly skilled video and visual journalist to join a team tasked with developing short motion graphics-oriented segments tailored for mobile, social and digital audiences.

The ideal candidate is a self-starting idea-generator who can come up with visual concepts that deploy illustrations, maps, icons, text, graphics and video footage to depict topics in innovative ways.

You would be covering everything from major news stories to features.

Some pieces will require you to tap your inner artist, generating sophisticated “look/feel” approaches. In other cases, you will bank on your command of maps and motion to take viewers through a story or timeline.

This person will work on various existing news series, but will also be expected to enterprise and execute their own ideas, in collaboration with our global reporting staff and senior producers.

Candidates should have strong command of After Effects, Illustrator and Premiere/FCPX. You should also have the desire to work at and thrive in one of the most highly competitive newsrooms in the world.

Applications should include a resume, cover letter and links to videos that you think demonstrate your creativity and journalistic skills.
