Editor, Cross-platform Content (1-year contract), Singapore

Responsibilities
CNA is looking for an experienced editor to join its cross-platform content team, which takes news content developed for a particular platform (such as TV) and reworks it for another (such as Digital). This position will suit someone who knows how to turn a 300-word script for a TV news package or a lengthy interview conducted on radio into a comprehensive text story for online, or can identify how a video developed specifically for an online audience can be reworked for broadcast on TV.
Responsibilities
Identify content across individual news platforms that can be repurposed for use elsewhere. Develop a constant flow of reworked content for CNA platforms. Work with the team leader to make judgement calls on how content can be best utilised on other platforms, such as whether a TV interview with a key newsmaker merits a full story for Digital or if individual quotes will suffice. Take a lead role in redeveloping the content, such as by taking a script for a TV news package and enhancing it with additional content to turn it into a comprehensive text story for Digital. Review the work of other team members to ensure it meets the necessary editorial standards and does not require additional work before publication or broadcast.
Qualifications
At least 4 years of editorial experience, ideally in a variety of newsrooms (such as TV, digital or print). A deep knowledge of how content needs to be shaped in different ways for various types of news platforms and social media. A driven self-starter who can help the team to achieve key goals. Outstanding awareness of the Asian news agenda, with a good knowledge of events in Singapore. A willingness to work irregular hours, including some weekends and public holidays.
