Job Introduction
BBC West provides multimedia content across Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire - across digital, TV and radio. You would join as a senior journalist working on multi-platform stories alongside our brilliant team of journalists. We have two positions available: one permanent, full-time position and one part-time fixed-term contract of 12 months.
You'll work with the West's Digital, TV and radio editors to research, gather, edit and produce outstanding impactful content. We need someone that completely understands the local area and the stories that matter to our audience. Someone who is creative and passionate about brilliant journalism and who knows how to make our content reach as wide an audience as possible.
Main Responsibilities
This is a fully multi-platform role. As a Senior Journalist, you will be a key part of the multi-platform newsroom researching, gathering and editing content for online, TV and audio and working across both TV output and on our digital platforms in the West region. You'll also be needed to ensure our online content and stories are polished, make sense, are editorially and legally sound and have the best possible chance of success.
You will have extensive journalism experience, ideally in both digital and television, and be a sure pair of hands who can cope with the pressures of multiple demands and breaking stories.
You will also be working on other output such as producing the lunchtime TV bulletin and working on the main 1830 programme.
You'll embrace the challenge of improving digital skills at the BBC and you'll be a big believer in teamwork; because you'll often be the person colleagues turn to for multi-platform content.
Are you the right candidate?
* Significant experience of digital and television content.
* Sound editorial judgement, taking responsibility for output on matters of editorial sensitivity under pressure along with a commitment to delivering accurate and impartial journalism.
* Know exactly how to best leverage our content for delivery across multiple platforms - and ensure that our stories get the best possible exposure.
* A willingness to experiment and try different approaches and formats in storytelling to reach new and different audiences.
* The ability to work well with other journalists and teams across our newsrooms in the West of England.
