Video Journalist

The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting. Founded in 1846, AP today remains the most trusted source of fast, accurate, unbiased news in all formats and the essential provider of the technology and services vital to the news business. More than half the world's population sees AP journalism every day. The Associated Press seeks a journalist with a history of successful video and multimedia storytelling. Reporting to video leadership, with ties to AP’s revenue arm, this video journalist will help facilitate video stories involving academics explaining their research on climate and other topics. This is a temporary grant-funded assignment lasting for two years, with an opportunity to extend. In this role, you will collaborate with a network of universities in the production of video explainers, commentary and analysis of U.S. and global issues for AP’s video customers and platforms on topics close to the news, such as climate change and the state of U.S. democracy. You will work to identify emerging stories and themes, and you’ll help collaborating universities understand and consider these themes for short videos of scholars speaking to specific news issues, to be distributed by AP. Your work will include ingesting university videos and distributing them to AP’s customer network. The preferred location for this position is New York or Washington, but we will consider other U.S. cities with an AP bureau.
