2 months ago
Job Description:
The Wall Street Journal is seeking an experienced, energetic audio host and producer to be the voice of the PM edition of its daily news podcast What's News.
In this role, you will be responsible for delivering the most important news of the day to the show's large, global audience of engaged listeners through interviews and news segments.
This position requires an authoritative yet approachable on-mic presence, impeccable editorial judgment, a deep understanding of audio storytelling, strong production skills and a passion for explaining the "why" behind the news and how it affects listeners' everyday lives.
A background in podcasting, radio or another comparable medium is a must for this position.
Top candidates for this role will have a journalism background with a deep understanding and interest in WSJ's core coverage areas. Strong experience in research, reporting and interviewing, including in live settings, are crucial for this role, along with a broad knowledge of current events and news that can be drawn upon to strengthen interviews.
While audio is your core medium, you understand how to reach audiences in other ways, such as through social media, and have thoughts on how to build engaged listener communities. You also have experience using data and audience feedback to help guide podcast development.
The position is based in our New York City office and reports to the Supervising Producer, Audio.
To apply, please submit your résumé, a cover letter clearly outlining how your skills and experience meet or exceed the key candidate requirements and five links to past work that represents the type of work described. Candidates who do not submit cover letters will not be considered.
You will:
- Host and produce a daily news podcast, working with a small group of producers to handle all tasks involved in writing, recording and mixing the show.
- React quickly to breaking news, providing suggestions for guest interviews and securing interviews on deadline.
- Write snappy news items that convey the essential aspects of the day's events in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way.
- Interview WSJ reporters and external sources, asking insightful questions on the fly that get to the story in a conversational way.
- Be proactive about proposing interviews and episode ideas, working ahead to ensure the show has a consistent pipeline of strong and timely interview opportunities.
- Book newsmakers and industry leaders, and thoroughly research and prepare for interviews that will make news and lead the public conversation.
- Pitch and execute special series and coverage beyond the parameters of the daily What's News show.
- Ensure all content meets the highest production values and all WSJ journalistic and legal standards are followed.
- Collaborate with editorial leaders across the newsroom to develop story ideas and episodes.
- Work with the live journalism team to conduct live interviews that extend the brand beyond the podcast.
- Consult with our social-media team on audience development strategies connected to the podcast.
- Manage multiple projects in various stages of development and production.
- Work late hours and weekends as news developments may warrant.
- Perform additional duties as assigned.
You have:
- 3+ years experience in audio production, including experience in daily audio news or another format where you have turned around audio on a tight deadline.
- Strong editorial judgment and broad knowledge of current events, U.S. politics, business, technology and economics, as well as a nose for news.
- Experience researching, sculpting and conducting engaging interviews at a variety of lengths.
- Experience communicating with and booking talent, including a strong contact list that you can draw upon with newsmakers and industry executives.
- Strong journalistic judgment with a specific eye for fact-checking standards.
- Proficiency in cutting and mixing tape using Descript and either Pro Tools or Audition.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Calmness under pressure and the ability to switch gears and react to breaking news.
- An ability to manage multiple projects at once.
- Experience working in multiple audio formats and styles.
- Leadership skills and the ability to foster a collaborative and inclusive team.
- Experience with field recording is a plus.
