CBS News is seeking an Associate Producer with strong organizational skills and editorial instincts to join the Centralized Coverage Team on its new Desk! The Coverage Team helps manage the way we cover stories across multiple platforms, including network broadcasts, CBS 24/7 streaming shows, Newspath, and Radio. The Producer will be the liaison between CBS 24/7 streaming show producers/assignment editors and network producers, correspondents, and reporters across all news platforms. The primary responsibility is fulfilling requests for live shots and pre-taped debriefs for planned events and breaking news.
The ideal candidate will have a clear understanding of what it takes to produce live and taped segments, plus understand the logistics of scheduling live shots and balancing newsgathering. Coverage Team members should have the editorial instincts to know which segments are likely to be covered every day, so we have the right news crews in the right places. The Producer will also need to think ahead about which correspondents and reporters can do specific live shots and look-lives. A successful candidate is someone quick on their feet, highly organized and calm during breaking news, a pro at multi-tasking, a consummate colleague, and excellent at developing and cultivating relationships with producers, correspondents, and reporters.
