Social Media Producer

Reuters is recruiting a social media producer to help source, verify and clear access to user-generated content (UGC) and other third-party material for distribution by Reuters around the world. This is a position that will be based in our Mexico newsroom, principally covering North and South America, but with an opportunity to work on other major global stories. The successful candidate will be an expert at navigating a range of social media platforms and will show a keen interest in current affairs and following developments within the digital industry. Prior experience in UGC newsgathering would be a clear advantage, as would evidence of an ability to identify breaking stories and emerging trends on social media. However, as full training will be given, a willingness to learn quickly, communicate clearly and work accurately under pressure are at least as important. Fluent spoken and written Spanish and English are a pre-requisite, Portuguese will confer an advantage.
