This role combines editorial leadership, mentorship and teaching, ensuring students develop professional-level skills in video content, while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, fairness and thoroughness. Video storytelling may include broadcast reporting, social media storytelling and non-narrative documentary production. Success in this role is measured by the success of students, and their ability to synthesize skills and knowledge from earlier courses inside a working newsroom environment. The successful candidate will be a journalist of the highest caliber with strong TV and video experience, a creative thinker who is comfortable in a highly energized news environment, and a student‑first instructor inspired by the future of broadcast and streaming news.
