You bring a sharp editorial vision, high-energy on-screen authority, and the ability to command a fast-paced broadcast environment.

• Thorough knowledge of News24 products, editorial tone, and brand values.
• Strong working knowledge of media law, defamation, and broadcasting codes.
• Must have a very good knowledge of global politics and current affairs, and a good understanding of news events occurring elsewhere in the world.
• Take a hands-on approach to story selection, research, and script writing with the ability to plan highly viral online segments, react in real-time to breaking news, and conduct sharp interviews with guests.
• Must be able to work under pressure to meet deadlines, while maintaining a positive attitude.
• Must be willing to learn and adapt to new working practices and contribute to new programs.
• Ability to work independently when required and to carry out assignments that are not part of the day-to-day routine.
• Must have extensive on-camera broadcasting experience, a fearless approach to opinion-led commentary, and a sophisticated understanding of global news and modern digital publishing strategies.
