The Dallas Morning News seeks a versatile and ambitious Video Producer to join its award-winning visuals team.
Our company is significantly expanding its video efforts to engage and connect with our audience in new, dynamic ways. We're investing in high-quality content production across various platforms, including social media, podcasts and on our website. The Video Producer is essential to elevate our brand through powerful visual storytelling.
You are the right candidate for this position if you are a skilled video journalist who is as comfortable editing short-form news videos on deadline as you are producing your own longform narrative piece over several months. You will be the lead video editor in the newsroom, quickly turning clips captured by our staff into engaging content for our website and social media platforms. At times, you will produce your own videos, acting as editor, producer, reporter and videographer.
You will oversee video projects from pre-production to post-production, and help create and maintain an efficient video workflow. The successful candidate will have the ability to produce quality content quickly and adjust to and overcome challenges on the fly while collaborating with multiple stakeholders on tight deadlines.
This is a dynamic role in the ever-changing environment of a daily newsroom. You should have a high level of organization and responsibility, plus a full understanding of and strict adherence to visual journalism ethical standards.
In addition to recording and editing video, you will manage our various video platforms. The Video Producer will play a critical role in managing video uploads, optimizing content for SEO, maintaining our video channels, and ensuring the latest videos are published on the website.
You will brainstorm with reporters and editors, generate innovative ideas and make news-driven video decisions. You will also work with our audience team to create engaging social media content for our digital platforms. We are looking for someone who will come with abundant ideas and energy.
This role requires a flexible, rotating schedule that can include nights, holidays and weekends. We work in the office three days a week to foster collaboration.
This position is based in Dallas. While our coverage area is mainly North Texas, we routinely send visual journalists beyond the region. All candidates are required to have a reliable mode of transportation.
