The main difference is that a Home Based Video Script Writer specializes in creating scripts specifically for videos, combining storytelling with visual cues, while a Freelance Content Writer focuses on producing written content for various online platforms.

Job description

The New York Times International desk is looking for a Senior Video Journalist to produce and edit stories with multimedia correspondents. You will join a team tasked with creating new approaches to our international reporting in video, working with a growing group of foreign correspondents who work in video as well as text.

The goal is to help readers understand the world through powerful video stories, reaching our core audience as well as new viewers who increasingly consume journalism in video. We will experiment with a mix of direct, immersive vertical video forms that can bring our audience with us on the ground.

You will join a multi-disciplinary team of video journalists that will shape this work. This role is based in our New York office, working remotely with correspondents in the field to produce, edit and publish stories. You should have a refined understanding of video production and storytelling, including video editing, shooting and writing for narration, with a clear sense for how to creatively use graphics and animation to illustrate complex ideas. 

Your news judgement about what makes a good story in video will be crucial, as will creative ideas for how to reenvision the basic elements of foreign correspondence, across news, features and analysis. You must be an effective collaborator and a strong communicator who can work closely with regional editors and video colleagues to shape our approach to this coverage. You are capable of working independently and decisively.

This position is based in New York and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week. 

Responsibilities:

  • Write, produce, edit and publish videos with hybrid correspondents, in close partnership with regional editors.
  • Devise new approaches to digital video storytelling both on and off platform.
  • Work with correspondents to create a playbook for how to cover a region or beat in video.
  • Collaborate closely with International editors, correspondents and video colleagues.
  • Guide the work of cinematographers, editors and other collaborators.
  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
  • The role reports to the Senior Producer, International in New York.

Basic Qualifications:

  • 8+ years experience producing news video journalism for digital or broadcast news.
  • A strong portfolio, preferably of inventive short-form video.
  • High-level editorial judgement, and excellent writing, editing and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to work independently to lead production on complicated projects.
  • Demonstrated broad knowledge of current events and news.
  • Deep curiosity about video habits and users and platforms.
  • Strong organizational skills, including the ability to manage field crews and hire and manage freelancers when necessary.
  • Hands-on experience in the trenches of production, including editing, shooting and field production. 
  • The ability to edit quickly and accurately with Adobe Premiere. 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience covering international news.
  • Foreign language fluency.
  • Strong experience with archival research, including sourcing and clearing user-generated video content.
  • Fluency with animation and motion graphics as an integral part of your script writing process.
  • Proven ability to meet deadlines and adapt to change within an unpredictable news and production environment.
  • Strong time management skills and the ability to juggle multiple assignments at a time.
  • A record of deploying teams of journalists in difficult field assignments.
  • High creative standards and a drive to push work to its best possible form.

This position is represented by the NewsGuild of NY.

In order to be considered for this role, please submit your resume, cover letter and link to your portfolio.
