The CBS Evening News Research Department seeks an ambitious Associate Producer to join the editorial production team based in New York City. This Associate Producer works directly with the department's producers to ensure every aspect of the broadcast is factually accurate and ready for air. The ideal candidate is a great teammate with organizational skills, attention to detail, ability to meet deadlines and stay calm under pressure.
Key responsibilities:
• Act as an off-air reporter gathering editorial information for producers, correspondents, and writers on tight deadlines. This may include finding relevant stats, studies, or government documents. An understanding of primary sourcing and where to look for information is key.

This includes fact-checking editorial copy (correspondent and anchor scripts, headlines, teases, etc.) as well as checking all graphical and visual elements for accuracy (this includes in-package and lead in-graphics, name fonts and headline banners).
• Work with producers to edit and approve story headline banners. This includes punching up the copy to ensure it reads as a headline and checking text for factual and grammatical accuracy.
• In addition to the day-of-air responsibilities, the Research department AP is often responsible for enterprise reporting â€'' a so-called “deep dive,†looking for original editorial. This editorial is usually used to craft a story or graphic around which a correspondent package is written.

• Strong communication skills (both written and verbal)
• Ability to work on a flexible schedule, including holidays when necessary
