  • Journalistic Integrity: You will have deep knowledge of journalistic principles and be able to sustain best practice in news gathering and publishing.
  • Data-Driven Approach: You will possess a deep understanding of data analytics in video publishing and be brilliant at identifying opportunities through proactive data analysis.
  • Creative Boss: You will be able to spot opportunities for exclusive stories and breakthrough talent a mile off, and you will have the spirit and tenacity to ensure they are championed to a successful conclusion.
