We are looking for a talented experienced and self-motivated individual to work as a Producer in our Washington DC news Center.

The right journalist will have experience in telling stories that question authority and hold those in power accountable. Must be able to pitch, develop, and execute long form stories and even shows. Strong writing skills essential to perform this job. The producer is expected to cover North and South America. Spanish language skills are a plus, as well as the ability to shoot and edit.
