The Wall Street Journal is looking for an Associate Video Journalist to join our short-form video team to create timely video features, recurring franchises and in-depth explainers for the WSJ YouTube channel. We’re looking for a candidate who is passionate about news and eager to learn in a fast paced, rigorous environment. In this role, you will have ownership over videos, and you will support video journalists and senior video journalists in the production of a wide range of the team’s videos, including reporter-fronted analyses, in-depth explainers and original field pieces.
You should have a professional background in video journalism and demonstrate professional editing skills in Adobe Premiere. Prior experience with shooting and creating graphics in Adobe AfterEffects, Photoshop and Illustrator is a plus. You will juggle many tasks and should be excited about covering the day’s news events across a variety of coverage areas. The ability to react quickly and hit deadlines is essential to the job, as is the ability to bring challenging topics to life visually. Because the role is focused on producing and supporting the production of timely video features, candidates with a record of pitching stories for ongoing news coverage will take priority.
The position is based in our New York City office and reports to the Executive Producer of the WSJ YouTube team.
