Overview:
Military Times and Defense News seek an Editor, Short Form and Broadcast to develop our social video and TV post-production efforts. This is a multifaceted role that requires the right talent to generate daily short-form videos, and be a fast and efficient editor for our half-hour television program, Defense News Weekly. The Editor will be expected to pitch and source short-form/social videos on a daily basis with the goals of maximizing follower base and impressions, and creating growth across social platforms, tracking relevant analytics. An ability to appear on camera is a plus.

Secondarily, the Editor will edit our weekly half-hour TV show, Defense News Weekly, and support the team as needed for all production operations, including live streaming events.

The ideal candidate will have a background in news and creating video for digital distribution, with an all-around skillset that includes the ability to write, shoot and edit their own content, and utilize best-practices for distribution. A functional understanding of the U.S. military and defense spaces is helpful, but not required.
