Position: Associate Producer
Posted by: NHK
Location: Washington, DC
Status: Full-Time
Overview:
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) currently has an opening in its Washington bureau for the Associate Producer position.
This entry-level position is a fantastic opportunity for those who are early in their journalism careers – you won’t get this kind of access anywhere else.
Responsibilities of the Associate Producer will include:
· Daily coverage of foreign policy news, following up on events and stories particularly those occurring in East Asia
· Monitoring breaking US/international news
· Attendance at press briefings, policy speeches and think tank events around Washington
· Covering the 2016 presidential election
Candidates will need to be energetic, interested in political and international affairs, and have excellent communication and organizational skills. This is not a 9 to 5 job, so the successful candidates should also be prepared to work nights and weekends as needed. Most importantly, we are looking for team players who will do their very best to assist our Japanese correspondents, and who are capable of bridging the different cultures between American and Japan. Some experience in international affairs or broadcast news production is required. Japanese language proficiency is a big plus but not required.
Please send a cover letter and resume to info@nhkdc.com . No calls, please – applicants who do call will be immediately disqualified.
**The deadline to apply is Friday, May 22nd 2015.
NHK is the public broadcaster of Japan and one of the largest networks in Asia with over 100 million viewers worldwide, including in the US via NHK World.
