POSITION SUMMARY
Reporting to the SVP, Content Development and Production, the Senior News Producer/Digital will oversee the pilot and incubation stage of Mosaic World News (working title), building upon his/her international relationship with producers and independent news sources to curate, ag-gregate and in cases assign stories that would live on line and later be aggregated into broad-cast. In the 3-month pilot face, the senior news producer will work closely with the editorial and digital team of the network to create a digital framework for Mosaic World New, curating a mix of world news (with an initial Asian angle), original commentary, social media trends, and features.
