- Writing real-time breaking news posts and monitoring multiple breaking events for CNN's live updates platform. No story is too big or too small.
- Pitching stories and collaborating with team members on daily news priorities and future live stories.
- Tracking constantly changing and emerging newsmakers and fast-moving storylines.
- Working quickly to familiarise yourself with the major players in any breaking story, and coordinating with newsgathering partners from around the globe.
- Proven digital storytelling experience.
- Experience, comfortability, and a thirst for breaking news stories is a must. This is not a features-writing, investigative or beat reporting role. An ideal candidate not only can juggle stories on a wide array of topics but thrives in such an environment.
- Genuine interest in breaking news and a curiosity and passion for how it travels across the internet — from social to alerts.
- Sharp and fast writer with the ability to write a headline, and a sharp, precise paragraph that captures the essence of the story.
- Strong collaborator and communicator - we are a truly cross-functional team that works with nearly every desk and department teams and bureaus.
- Flexibility with your schedule, to account for major breaking news events, is vital to this role.
- Ability to work quickly under pressure and collaborate closely with others is essential.
