Who we are
Semafor is a global news platform for an increasingly complex world in which consumers are overwhelmed by too many news sources and unsure what to trust. We are building Semafor to enable world-class journalists to deliver reporting and insights with rigor in journalistic forms that ensure a new level of transparency. Our editors and reporters distill the most important stories from all over in formats that uncover the forces shaping the stories, explain the interests behind polarizing narratives, and replenish the stock of shared facts. As a global platform, Semafor recognizes that smart people can disagree and that informed readers need to understand alternative points of view from competing centers of power and culture in a multi-polar world.

About the Role
We’re looking for a hungry video journalist to fill a paid entry-level position as a Newsroom Fellow on our video team, carrying out administrative tasks, helping build, produce, and publish a number of our video shows. The video journalist will work across Semafor’s coverage verticals, which run the gamut, covering geopolitics, climate change, technology, science, culture, business and finance, and American politics.
Ideal candidates would be self-starters, keen to get involved in a growing newsroom, and contribute in any and all ways, including administrative tasks, research, and most importantly producing and editing video.
The position will be in our NYC offices. The Newsroom Fellow will report to the Head of Video, and work with reporters and editors across the newsroom. Candidates will be asked to complete an editing and writing exercise as part of the interview process, and must retain the right to work where they live.
We are committed to fair, transparent pay and we strive to provide competitive, market-informed compensation. The pay for this role is $29.00 per hour.
