  • Shoot short-form video for publishing across multiple platforms
  • Work with editors and colleagues to adapt reporting for different platforms

  • Experience and comfort publishing stories in short-form vertical video format

Preferred skills and abilities
  • A minimum of five years professional reporting experience and/or academic background in environmental topics.
  • Familiarity with digital publishing workflows
  • Spanish language speaking and writing skills
  • Preference for someone living in the Santa Barbara area

Why this role matters
You will be a core member of a growing team working to transform the 158-year-old Santa Barbara News-Press into an innovative digital-first local news outlet. This role exists to provide strong foundational reporting on the most important news of Santa Barbara County and the Central Coast via timely, fact-based storytelling that resonates with our local community.

Benefits

  • 401(k) plan with matching employer contribution
  • 22 days of vacation time
  • 11 holidays, including your birthday
  • Parental leave
  • Significant tuition reductions
  • Professional development is highly valued at ASU Enterprise Partners, where employees are encouraged to look across the organization and nurture new areas of interest
