Caters Media Group is looking for an experienced Journalist based in Argentina to join our international editorial team.
We specialise in finding and telling real stories about real people , from extraordinary experiences and inspiring individuals to unusual lifestyles, relationships, families, transformations and incredible moments.
This is not a political news role.
A key part of this role is story sourcing. You won’t simply be given stories to write – you’ll be expected to actively find compelling people, stories and footage across social media and other online sources.
Once you identify a story, you’ll need to track down and contact the person who owns the footage or story, build a relationship with them and convince them to work with Caters and sign an agreement allowing us to represent their content.
You’ll be targeting content primarily for the US market, so you’ll need a strong instinct for the human-interest stories that engage American audiences.
This is a fast-paced, high-volume role, requiring you to source and secure multiple quality stories every day.
Key Responsibilities
Proactively source a high volume of original human-interest stories and videos
Search social media and online platforms to identify compelling content and emerging stories
Identify and contact the original owner of footage or content
Approach potential contributors professionally via social media, email, phone and other channels
Explain how Caters works and secure signed contributor agreements
Build rapport with contributors and confidently encourage them to work with Caters
Interview contributors to uncover the full story behind their content
Research and verify stories, footage and information
Write accurate,
engaging copy for international media
Identify stories with strong potential for US audiences
Work efficiently to daily sourcing, signing and editorial targets
What We’re Looking For
Qualified journalist
Minimum 2 years’ professional journalism experience
Excellent written and spoken English
Proven experience sourcing original stories, contributors or user-generated content
Confident approaching people and building relationships with potential contributors
Strong communication, interviewing and persuasion skills
Comfortable explaining agreements and securing contributor sign-ups
Excellent news judgement and a natural instinct for a strong human-interest story
Proven ability to handle a high daily volume of leads and stories while maintaining quality and accuracy
Strong understanding of social media and how to find original content and its owner
Understanding of US audiences and culture
Experience in a fast-paced digital newsroom, content agency or similar environment
Highly organised and comfortable working to daily targets
Based in Argentina
