Video Producer

The Dallas Morning News seeks an ambitious and versatile Video Producer to join its award‑winning visuals team. The newsroom is investing in high‑quality content production across social media, podcasts and the website, and video producers play a key role in elevating the brand through powerful visual storytelling.
