• Proficient in shooting and editing both photos and video using DSLR, mobile, or ENG equipment.
• Strong understanding of SEO, social media strategy, and audience behavior.
• Ability to multitask and thrive in a deadline-driven environment.
• Flexible schedule — must be able to work nights, weekends, and holidays as news demands.

• Confident on-camera presence and/or hosting ability.
• Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, Audition, Photoshop) and Canva.
• Experience with live streaming, OTT/CTV publishing, and You Tube optimization.
