Role summary:

Reuters is looking for an enthusiastic and diligent journalist to join our fast-paced, global user-generation content (UGC) team.

You will help deliver breaking and multimedia news coverage to more than 1,000 broadcasters and hundreds of digital outlets around the world.

You will be based in our Bangalore newsroom and will collaborate with video, text and still photo colleagues worldwide on major global stories.

As a social media producer, you will help source, verify and clear access to UGC and other third-party material for distribution by Reuters around the world.

This is a full-time role that demands flexibility to work long hours and some weekends.

As our social media producer you will:

Scan social media for visuals of breaking news and quickly identify original sources and uploads
Use your interpersonal skills to speak to sources, ask them questions and get clearance for Reuters to distribute their content
Use satellite, file imagery, metadata, weather data, other evidence and tools to forensically analyse videos and photographs to establish if they are old, misleading or tampered with
Follow closely the biggest stories of the day
Track trends and pitch humanled stories
Have the opportunity to interview people, edit video and contribute to multimedia reporting
Confident and calm in breaking news situations
Good at multitasking under pressure
Fascinated by international news
Passionate about telling humanled stories
Good at finding new stories that go beyond the headlines
Ambitious to find and cover stories that will have an impact
Following the latest developments in the digital industry
Good at working in a team environment and solo
Proficient at speaking and writing English

Prior experience in UGC newsgathering, open-source intelligence (OSINT) work or fact checking would present a clear advantage.

However, as full training will be given, a willingness to learn quickly, communicate clearly and work well under pressure are just as important.
