Job Description

The Institute for Justice is seeking a full-time, in-house, multimedia journalist to join our award-winning production team located in the Washington DC area.

This unique role will document and tell stories about everyday Americans who want to earn an honest living, own and enjoy their property, speak freely, and give their children a good education but find that the government is standing in their way.

Because we are a 501(c)3 organization, stories will not include national politics, the executive branch, etc.

The Multimedia Journalist will work individually and as part of a 2-to-3-person team to plan, shoot, and edit video content in our office’s studio or while traveling. A small sample of our team’s past work can be found here:

  • Experience working with tight deadlines.
  • A portfolio that demonstrates understanding of storytelling, lighting, and composition for video.

  • Drones (or a willingness to become an FAA certified pilot)
  • Practical on-set experience is a must.
  • Ability to lift 50-pound equipment bags.
  • Flexibility to travel, sometimes on a weekly basis.
  • Audio editing and post-production color work experience is preferred but not required.

To Apply: Please include cover letter, resume, and demo reel*. Creativity encouraged. Salary commensurate with experience. The candidate must be willing to relocate to the DC Metro area.
