- Adhere to highest editorial standards: Work closely with assigning editors, journalists, designers and producers, working with pre-set formats, visual templates, and narrative instructions for both video and audio content to ensure brand and editorial consistency.
- Shoot and capture: Be readily available to shoot video and capture high-quality audio in the newsroom and occasionally on quick assignments outside the newsroom as dictated by the daily news list, which could also include still photography.
- Ensure journalistic integrity: Apply a journalist’s rigor to all content, ensuring accuracy, fairness, and adherence to the Star’s ethical guidelines, even while working on a high volume of assignments.
- Manage assets: Ingest, organize, and manage video and audio assets quickly and efficiently in a shared newsroom environment.
Requirements

- Deep familiarity with professional video camera operation, lighting, and newsgathering audio equipment and a mastery of audio recording and mixing equipment for newsgathering and studio podcasting.
- Must be able to set up and break down a shoot quickly in various environments.
- Relentlessly high journalistic standards: A fundamental understanding of news values, story structure, and media ethics.
- A documented ability to meet multiple daily deadlines and deliver clean, technically sound video.
- Ability to contribute to an environment of growth, demonstrate enthusiasm and support colleagues in their work.
