Qualifications:
• Prior experience in news, talk shows, podcasting, or opinion media preferred.
• Strong Spanish-language communication skills, both spoken and written.
• Confident and authentic on-camera presence.
• Informed, articulate, and comfortable sharing editorial viewpoints respectfully.
• Familiarity with video editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere) is a plus.
• Active on social media and experienced in audience engagement.
• Deep interest in Los Angeles' Latino communities and issues.
• Ability to work in a collaborative, fast-moving team environment.

To Apply:
Along with your resume and any relevant work samples, please submit two short cell phone videos in Spanish:
1. In the first video, give a neutral and unbiased view of a political or controversial topic affecting the Latino community in Los Angeles.
2. In the second video, share your personal, honest opinion on that same topic.
These videos don't need to be fancy-just you on camera using your phone is perfect. We want to see your range, from remaining neutral and composed…to expressing authentic, opinionated commentary.
