The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
The New York Times is continuing to expand its video journalism, identifying compelling visual stories across the depth and breadth of our report. We showcase the expertise of Times journalists on-camera, share urgent news updates, produce on-the-ground reporting, pioneering Visual Investigations, and video podcasts.
We are looking for a video journalist to join a growing video team in Seoul to focus on breaking news, live journalism and news video reporting.
You have extensive news knowledge, particularly out of Asia, and are passionate about all aspects of breaking and developing news. You will stay on top of the news of the day—producing immediate updates with short video clips that take our audience to the scene for ongoing stories, as well as text-on-screen packages for our site and off-platform. You will be responsible for setting up and monitoring live video feeds, and work in collaboration with colleagues across the newsroom to identify, verify, edit and publish video material on-site in a variety of formats.
In this role, you will also pitch newsy, compelling and visual stories that are reported and align with our newsroom priorities.
You are a strong editorial producer and are able to keep track of breaking news and ongoing stories. You are eager to innovate, thrive on collaboration and have strong news judgment. You are a strong video editor and a strong script writer. You’re a self-starter who will jump on breaking news, thrive under the pressure of newsroom deadlines. You can spot trends, generate ideas and have a track record of juggling multiple projects at any given time.
This is an in-office position based in Seoul and includes regular attendance in the office four days each week. There may be some flexibility to work remotely per your departmental guidance.
