Journalist - Cape Town at Media24 (Pty) Ltd

Who we’re looking for

We want a journalist who’ll use AI to create compelling stories. You are…

• An ace storyteller: you understand how to create a great piece of journalism for your audiences. You know the fundamentals of ethical journalism, how to verify information and check with experts.
• A digital native: you’re skilled at working with different types of digital media.
• Digitally dexterous: you embrace different types of tech and how it can enhance storytelling. You’re constantly exploring and trying new tools, especially AI ones.
• Curious and clued-in: you want to know about the world you live in, who your audience is and how you can best serve them. You make it your business to find out more about them.
• Agile and a speed junkie: you can produce great work within tight deadlines, can cope with pressure and you can juggle multiple projects (in fact, you thrive on the thrill of tight deadlines!).
• A collaborative spirit: you love working in a team, especially one that has diverse skills, talents and backgrounds. You’re also skilled at engaging with sources who can provide you with relevant information.

What we need from you

• At least two years’ experience working in dynamic environments like a newsroom or content creation hub with a proven track record.
