Journalistic Video Editor

As a journalistic video editor, you shape raw footage into the news stories and reports people watch on television, streaming, and social media. You take interviews, on-scene video, graphics, and sound, then cut and arrange them into a clear, compelling piece that tells the story accurately and holds viewers' attention. You work under tight deadlines, sometimes turning around a story in hours, and you must respect journalistic standards so the edit stays truthful and fair. Your days involve reviewing footage, editing on software, adding graphics and captions, and working closely with reporters and producers.
