CBC News is looking for an innovative and versatile video producer with a strong interest in world news and excellent field video producing skills to join our bureau in Mumbai, India. If you’re a creator at heart and enjoy storytelling and producing content across visual formats, this job could be for you.
The goal at CBC News is to help Canadians make sense of their world, including the changing role the Indo-Pacific region plays in everything from geo-politics and trade, to technology, culture and climate. In this role, you’ll collaborate with a small team, under the direction of the Senior Producer, World News Assignment, to bring those stories to Canadian audiences across video, audio and text.
You bring a deep knowledge of the historical complexities of the region and the confidence to help shape the CBC News editorial coverage.
You’re a technical whiz who will be shooting, editing, packaging and publishing content on multiple platforms. This includes short-form vertical videos and on-demand content for CBC.ca and beyond.
You are also strong editorially. You have story ideas and are thinking about creative treatments to attract new and younger audiences on mobile platforms. You excel at guiding stories from concept to post-production, and are quick to pivot when plans change. Your decisions are driven by audience needs, and you’re constantly searching for new voices and new perspectives who reflect a broad range of lived experiences within the region.
You are deeply committed to the values of a public service broadcaster. You uphold the CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices, especially our core principles of accuracy, fairness, balance, impartiality and integrity.
You understand that stories can break at any time of the day and you have a genuine desire to be on-top of that coverage. The position requires long-hours, flexible schedules and a willingness to deploy on a moment’s notice, including to conflict zones. The minimum assignment length for this position is two years and, if agreed to by both parties, may be extended for up to an additional two years.
