  • Draw ideas from a range of video sources, including wire services, UGC, eyewitness video, archival footage, motion graphics, and originally-shot footage.
  • Collaborate and coordinate on breaking news coverage with The Times’ Live team, which produces real-time updates and analysis, as well as a worldwide network of reporters and editors.
  • Review, assign and provide feedback on stories.
  • Help guide breaking news coverage.
  • Oversee the production of social content and off-platform video.
  • Manage video journalists and editors in the newsroom and field and occasionally manage complex, high-risk news deployments. 
  • 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.
  • This role reports to a deputy editor for video.

Basic Qualifications:

  • 8+ years experience in digital or broadcast news.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience overseeing geolocation and UGC verification work. 
  • Experience developing and editing visual material for social platforms.
  • Expert knowledge of current events with advanced level experience covering breaking news stories in the US and internationally. 
  • Knowledge of California and experience covering news in the western United States.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including giving feedback clearly and effectively.
