Newsweek is hiring : Multimedia Editor Remote, United States in Richmond

Newsweek is the global media organization that has earned audience time and trust for more than 90 years. Newsweek reaches 100 million people each month with thought-provoking news, opinion, images, graphics, and video delivered across a dozen print and digital platforms. Headquartered in New York City, Newsweek also publishes international editions in EMEA and Asia.

We’re launching a new era of storytelling at Newsweek—and we’re looking for the creators who will define it.

From high-impact video podcasts to binge-worthy digital docuseries, Newsweek is building a nimble, next-generation video team that will shape the way our stories are told across platforms. This isn’t just a production team—it’s a creative hub for bold ideas, boundary-pushing formats, and collaborative innovation.

If you’re a visual storyteller who thrives in fast-paced environments, thinks like a producer, shoots like a director, and edits like an artist—this is your moment. Join us as we build something fresh, flexible, and fearless.

We’re looking for a multifaceted Video Editor / Videographer / Video Producer with a sharp editorial sense, strong visual instincts, and expert post-production skills. The core responsibility of this role is editing, but you should be just as comfortable behind the camera and contributing to the creative process from pitch to publish. This is a hands-on role for a visual storyteller who thrives in both the field and the edit suite—someone who can take a concept and run with it, while working closely with producers, marketers, and creatives.

The ideal candidate comes with a strong background in digital video, documentary, or broadcast production—and a passion for crafting narratives that break through the noise. You’ll bring polish and precision to your edits, a cinematic eye to your shoots, and a collaborative spirit to every project. Bonus points for experience with motion graphics or animation.

If you’re hungry to tell great stories—and help build something exciting from the ground up—we want to hear from you.
