Video Journalist

The Washington Times is seeking a creative, motivated Video Journalist to join our growing video team and help tell compelling stories through original digital journalism.

We're looking for someone with strong storytelling instincts, sharp news judgment, and a passion for finding creative ways to bring important stories to life through video. The ideal candidate is a journalist first — someone who can identify interesting angles, research and develop stories, write engaging scripts, conduct interviews, and collaborate with reporters and editors to produce meaningful, informative video content.

This is a hands-on, multifaceted role within a small but ambitious video team. The successful candidate will participate in the entire storytelling process, from pitching ideas and researching stories to filming, interviewing, scripting, and assisting with post-production. A working knowledge of cameras, lighting, audio equipment, and basic video editing is important, but we're looking for someone whose greatest strengths are their editorial instincts, curiosity, and ability to tell a great story. The Video Journalist should also be comfortable contributing on camera, whether reporting from the field, conducting interviews, or presenting stories to an audience. Occasional travel will be required.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to do more than simply fill a production role. We're looking for a versatile, proactive journalist who is eager to contribute ideas, take initiative, develop new skills, and help shape the future of video storytelling at The Washington Times. As part of a small, collaborative team, the successful candidate will have meaningful opportunities to take ownership of projects and grow professionally.

The successful candidate will have a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Communications, Broadcasting or a related field and a minimum of 3-5 years working in a newsroom environment, video reporting, digital news production or multimedia storytelling is preferred. Experience writing scripts, researching stories, conducting interviews, or producing original editorial content is highly desirable. Familiarity with professional video equipment and basic editing workflows is expected.

This is a unique fun opportunity to work for a prominent, fast-growing company that offers a competitive base salary, medical, dental, vision, retirement planning with matching options, as well as a generous paid time off program, flexible work schedule and FREE parking.
