Multimedia Journalist

As storytellers, journalists need animal instincts for what grabs attention. For what’s important, unique & interesting - and how to break and tell those stories in new and innovative ways across multi-media formats. Our journos find stories and produce high-quality journalism and content - including general news, crime, politics, entertainment or a specific round - that helps make NZME a leading publisher of digital and print publications and of radio programming.

If you fit the bill for this role you’ll display 2+ years’ experience working in a major news environment in a reporting role. You’ll have covered a wide range of topics, displaying great news judgement and an ability to handle daily story assignments, breaking news events and longer features. You’re original in your reporting skills and thought, including developing and maintaining sources and extending news coverage in new ways.

Using social media as a news gathering tool comes as second nature to you. You’re a multi-tasker, balancing priorities, projects and tasks with ease. You’re super organised and not worried by changing priorities. You are also a natural communicator, adjusting to changing environments and situations - and all with a ready smile and positive outlook.

This reporting role is full time and will require regular weekend work and will be based in our beautiful new office in Christchurch.

We can offer the chance to work with the best in the business - award winning brands and titles in an environment fostering diversity and inclusion.
