Responsibilities include analyzing provided screen recordings, datasets, and cross-platform evidence to write a facts-first investigative video script, recording professional and engaging on-camera segments delivering the investigation, and assembling host footage, screen captures, data visual overlays, and asset comparisons into a publication-ready video essay. You must possess an active social media presence or channel dedicated to journalism, commentary, or investigative video essays, strong on-camera presentation and reporting skills, and advanced proficiency in video editing software such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
