International Multimedia Journalist II (Mandarin Service)

The Center for Investigative Reporting

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About CIR</b></h2><div>
For half a century, the Center for Investigative Reporting&mdash;home to <i>Reveal</i> and <i>Mother Jones</i>&mdash;has been where fearless journalism meets relentless innovation. Our work was named a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist, adding to accolades that already include Emmys, Polks, Ambies, National Magazine Awards, Webbys, Peabodys, and duPonts. We've been exposing the truth since before &quot;going viral&quot; was a thing, and we've never stopped breaking major investigations that shape the national conversation. Our journalism lands across every platform that matters: print, radio, podcasts, documentaries, digital, and beyond. We take risks and don't answer to billionaires or party lines. If you're ready to strap in for a hell of a journalistic ride, with colleagues pushing one another to stay on the cutting edge, you've come to the right newsroom.<br>
<br>
<b>Position Overview</b></div><div>
We started this year with 26 million views in a single month. This role will build on that momentum. The Digital Producer will work across the full range of what modern video journalism looks like, including evolving our podcast properties into video-native experiences and extending the quick-turn, talent-forward video operation that keeps CIR visible and vital across every platform that matters.</div><div>
This is a cross-organization position serving both <i>Reveal</i> and <i>Mother Jones </i>brands. You'll own important parts of the transformation of how our video podcasts reach audiences on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. You'll also be working on a team that makes video feel like a natural, sustainable part of how CIR reporters tell stories every day&mdash;not a separate production track. The ideal candidate thinks in formats: what works as a long-form video episode, what gets clipped and shared, what puts a reporter's expertise on display in 90 seconds. You know the video landscape well, have strong opinions about where it's going, and are ready to build something distinctive for one of the most ambitious newsrooms in the country. You bring a journalist's instincts to everything you produce&mdash;you follow the news, you spot the story or a scoop that needs to be a video right now, and you can turn it around fast. You'll work closely with reporters to generate ideas and get ahead of the conversation, not just react to it.<br>
<br>
<b>Key Responsibilities</b><br>
<b>Development &amp; Production</b></div><ul><li><div>

Track performance metrics, surface insights, and adjust tactics based on what's working.</div></li><li><div>
Stay plugged into the rapidly evolving video podcast landscape.</div></li></ul><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
Talent</b></h3><ul><li><div>
Coach on-screen talent&mdash;reporters, hosts, and guests&mdash;on presence, delivery, and the specific demands of video, helping people who are brilliant on tape or on the page become equally so on camera.</div></li><li><div>
Help build a culture where reporters across the newsroom continue to see video as a natural extension of their storytelling toolkit&mdash;and build on our many successes to date.</div></li><li><div>
