Cardiff, United Kingdom Reach PLC Full time

Company Description

Want to shape the way millions consume news? We're searching for Social Video Journalists to create shareable content for our high-profile news brands. If you're passionate about storytelling and have a deep understanding of social media, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

Our video audience on platforms including TikTok, Youtube, Instagram and Facebook is growing rapidly. Our team produced some of the most-watched social videos of the General Election campaign while our social video brand Curiously continues to reach new audiences with its unique take on culture and entertainment.

Brands including the Mirror, Express and Manchester Evening News are delivering journalism which informs, entertains and inspires audiences across social platforms - but we know there’s more to do.

We’re hiring nine social video journalists to join our brands and make sure that the needs of audiences on social networks are at the heart of what we do every day. You’ll not only be taking the big stories of the day and creating brilliant, engaging video but also be responsible for influencing the stories we’re choosing to cover as well.

This role is home and hub based linked to our Cardiff Hub. We are therefore open to candidates based in and around Cardiff.

Job Description

About the Role:

As a Social Video Journalist for Wales Online, you'll be responsible for producing high-quality, shareable video content that resonates with our audience across various social platforms. You'll have a keen eye for news, a deep understanding of social media trends, and the ability to turn stories into compelling visual narratives.

You’ll be confident in analysing your own work through data, understanding what audiences are responding to, and identifying what our brands can do to reach new people with brilliant content. 

In this role, you’ll work with editors every day to identify the stories we should be telling on video, focusing on developing our brands in new locations, as well as identifying new topics our titles should be reporting on across all platforms. 

At Reach, we’re determined that every newsroom in our company reflects the communities it serves. As such, we’re especially keen to hear from people who feel they are under-represented in our organisation at present. 

This role will involve weekend and evening working so a flexible approach is required.

Qualifications

About you:

We are looking for candidates who are great at creating brilliant video for social media channels, preferably for news organisations. You will be comfortable appearing in front of the camera as well as editing and producing.
