Reuters is recruiting a social media producer to help source, verify and clear access to user-generated content (UGC) and other third party material for distribution by Reuters around the world.
This is a position that will be based in our Gdansk newsroom, with an opportunity to work on major global stories. The successful candidate will be an expert at navigating a range of social media platforms and will show a keen interest in following developments within the digital industry.
Prior experience in UGC newsgathering would be a clear advantage, as would evidence of an ability to identify breaking stories and emerging trends on social media.
