Location: The Hague, Netherlands |

You will shoot and edit news stories and features from the Netherlands, as well as coordinate our video coverage, manage and maintain our network of freelancers, and provide video training in the office where appropriate. Reporting to AFPTV editors in London and The Hague bureau chief, you will be skilled at setting up, shooting, scripting, voicing, and editing news and feature packages, as well as delivering very high-quality b-roll edits. The role will involve travel across the Netherlands and occasionally elsewhere in Europe and the world depending on the agency's needs. You will be expected to generate exclusive story ideas and closely follow news from the Netherlands and the major global institutions based in the Hague, such as the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. The role may also require writing text stories in English, so excellent writing skills are essential.

You will need to be available, when necessary, to work evenings and weekends and to travel, both in and outside the country. You will have a good understanding of AFP client needs in the broadcast sector, as well as in the growing digital market. You will send weekly and daily agendas on video coverage in the region, as well as maintain the video equipment in the bureau and request new materials where necessary. You should be familiar with using social media as a news-gathering tool. You will also be comfortable sourcing user generated content and applying AFP's editorial guidelines concerning the use of UGC. You will contribute to the fight against misinformation by helping factcheckers in the network and ensure you are trained in the various methods of online verification, now indispensable for all journalism. |
