Job description

#WeAreParamount on a mission to unleash the power of content... you in?
We've got the brands, we've got the stars, we've got thepowerto achieve our mission to entertain the planet - now all we're missing is... YOU! Becoming a part of Paramount means joining a team of passionate people who not only recognize the power of content but also enjoy a touch of fun and uniqueness. Together, we co-create moments that matter - both for our audiences and our employees - and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.
Entertainment Tonight is looking for a sharp, pop-culture-obsessed Production Assistant to join our news desk. This is an entry-level role built for someone who's ready to work hard, learn fast, and grow inside the #1 entertainment news brand in the world.
Overview:
The core of this role is news desk support. Most days, that means building folders - ingesting footage, pulling assets, and organizing everything a producer needs to write a piece. But the best PAs bring editorial instincts to that work. If you're deep in a folder on a breaking story and you spot a vault clip that just became gold, we need you to recognize it and flag it. That awareness is what separates a good PA from a great one.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
You'll be assigned to the ET news desk, where you'll be the link between raw footage and finished stories.
  • Media management - ingest shoot footage, log and label assets, and build organized folders that segment producers can write directly from
  • Transcription - turn celebrity interviews and field shoots into accurate, usable transcripts on deadline
  • Asset coordination - pull b-roll, photos, social clips, and archival material; track rights and credits
  • Producer support - research, fact checks, and content prep across broadcast, digital, and social
  • Rundown meeting prep - pull and assemble daily photo docs with pap and social images to support editorial planning
  • Field and studio assistance - crew support, errands, and on-the-ground help when shoots need an extra set of hands
  • Cross-department coverage - pitch in where the show needs you

Qualifications:
  • You live and breathe pop culture - you can name every famous face in a crowded shot
  • You're fast, accurate, and organized under pressure
  • You communicate clearly and work well with a team
  • You have sharp editorial instincts - you know the difference between a great sound bite and a throwaway line
  • Degree or internship in TV, film, or a related field is a plus, not a requirement
  • Must pass a short celebrity knowledge quiz
