About The Position

The Audience team works across the newsroom to ensure our journalism reaches people where they already are. We create social-first storytelling that helps audiences better understand the issues shaping Black communities through thoughtful reporting, compelling visuals, and platform-native video. Capital B is looking for a Video Producer who is equal parts editor, motion designer, and visual storyteller. This role is responsible for transforming our journalism into visually compelling videos across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging platforms. You'll collaborate with reporters, editors, and the audience team to develop social-first storytelling that is both informative and visually distinctive. We're looking for someone with exceptional editorial instincts and an equally strong eye for design. The ideal candidate understands that great video isn't just about editing—it's about using animation, typography, pacing, graphics, sound, and visual hierarchy to help audiences better understand complex stories. Whether you're creating a fast-turn breaking news video, animating archival photos, designing a data visualization, or building an explainer from scratch, you're constantly thinking about how visuals can deepen storytelling.
