Greater London, United Kingdom The Independent Full time

About us

The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence. In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.

The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change. It was the first British newspaper to add a Saturday magazine; the first to give photography the same prestige as a news copy; the first to challenge the Westminster lobby system of closed briefings; the first broadsheet to move to the more compact ‘tabloid’ format; the first to launch a concise quality compact paper; and the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.

Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and other ‘reader revenues’, The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, make its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.

We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.


The role

As a Video Journalist for The Independent you will be responsible for producing video content, writing copy and creating social videos content for The Independent’s website and social media platforms, including Independent TV and Indy100.

  • Be expected to write news copy in-line with IPSO standards, have the ability to source footage including live video feeds
  • Have a video-first approach and lead your storytelling through the format of video, driving video features across the site to meet targets
  • Work amongst a team of others to ensure The Independent's video content is leading international coverage on any given story
  • Use analytics tools to gauge audience interest in various topics before expertly producing content which matches the latest social trends
  • Maintain professionalism and lead by example, supporting junior members of the team when required
  • On a day-to-day basis, you will have the opportunity to pitch presented work, which, if commissioned, will be turned around to tight deadlines
  • Join a team working on a shift rotation including evenings and weekends


Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • We champion diversity in our teams and in our reporting. As a growing and global brand, we must have a workforce that’s more representative of our readers, viewers, clients and partners, and a workplace that creates a sense of belonging for everyone
