About COURIER

COURIER is a pro-democracy news network dedicated to building a more informed, engaged, and representative America. We reach audiences where they are online with factual, values-driven news and analysis. Our eleven local newsrooms and national brand provide Americans with news centered on the people and policies that affect their lives. Our reporting is primarily produced for social media platforms and online channels where our audiences spend their time, with an emphasis on video, graphics, and skimmable newsletters to inform and engage our audience in the ways they consume information today.

COURIER Newsroom is committed to building an inclusive workplace that values diverse perspectives and lived experiences. We strongly encourage women, people of color, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from all backgrounds to apply. As an equal opportunity employer, we strive to break down barriers and ensure every team member feels seen, heard, and supported.

About the role

We’re looking for a creative, politics-obsessed, full stack Producer to serve as showrunner for a new daily politics show from COURIER, as well as lead editorial for other audio+video projects in the works. You’ll work closely with talent – selecting stories, building the daily run-of-shows, writing set-ups, managing recording sessions, quickly editing and publishing segments and full episodes to YouTube and podcast platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Showrun : COURIER’s daily politics show (in development)
  • Own the day-to-day production of the daily politics show
  • Lead the editorial – choosing top stories, researching and writing the run-of-shows, and helping to shape the show’s tone and POV
  • Work directly with talent to structure and adapt each episode for podcast and YouTube
  • Collaborate with editors and social team to cut for clips, shorts, and other platform-native assets
  • Book and coordinate guest appearances (e.g., reporters, insiders, creators) and prep them for appearances
  • Manage recordings – ensuring quality audio and video for all talent and guests
  • Lead editorial on additional politically-focused podcasts and video series (in development)
  • Write scripts or outlines for other mid to long form video series or podcasts that are currently in development
  • Stay ahead of the political news cycle and help those shows translate complex issues with clarity and tone for each platform
  • Experience

  • 5+ years of experience producing daily news or politically-focused media for broadcast TV, podcast, or long-form digital media
  • Have worked in or around politics, journalism, or campaigns
  • Are an exceptional writer, editor and story-shaper
  • Know what makes a story stick on YouTube, TikTok, and podcast platforms
  • Can quickly turn around a basic edit. Experience using Descript and Premiere Pro is highly preferred
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative production environment and are great at keeping things moving
  • Are deeply aligned with COURIER’s progressive mission and care about telling stories that make democracy better

  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO), 11 paid holidays a year
