<p><strong>LINE PRODUCER - VICE NEWS TONIGHT</strong></p>
<p><strong>About VICE</strong></p>
<p><em>An international media company that captures people at the heart of stories, and focuses on the ideas, issues, and context that other outlets miss. Launched in 1994, VICE operates in 35 cities across the globe, making 1500 pieces of content every day with a focus on five lines of business: VICE Digital, an award-winning international network of digital content; VICE STUDIOS, a feature film and television production studio; VICELAND, an Emmy-winning international television network; a Peabody award-winning NEWS division; and VIRTUE, a global, full-service creative agency with 21 offices around the world.</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>VICE x News</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The award-winning VICE News team develops and produces news content across VICE platforms and partner platforms. The news team focuses on in-depth longform storytelling and unique and creative ways to relay topical daily news. This is a collaborative team that works together to make everyone’s stuff better. We believe in listening to everyone’s ideas and bringing on a diverse group of people who love working together to make the best, most unique news content out there.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Role x You</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Line Producer for Vice News Tonight will choose news stories, create the rundown, and be in the control room for the show. You are someone who knows how to look for unique angles and come up with ideas that will differentiate this show in the news ecosystem. You are calm and collected under pressure, effectively communicating last-minute changes to all the stakeholders. </span></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>In the short term… </strong><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">you will work with the senior staff and EP to develop and launch a reimagined one hour Vice News Tonight. You will manage the daily news portions of the show, overseeing story selection, editorial, and writing, managing a team of producers, APs and PAs. And you’ll work with the Senior Broadcast Producer to approve all scripts. You are an impressive tease writer who knows how to keep an audience tuning in without using cliches. You will work with the production crew to implement systems to get the show on the air seamlessly. </span></em></p>
<p><strong>After 6 months in this role… </strong><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll own the editorial direction of all daily news in the show, and will be concepting and delivering new treatments that break the mold for how we deliver daily news. You’ll be regularly pitching new segments and franchises to set the show apart.</span></em></p>
<p><strong>And after a year.. </strong><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will be regularly filling in for the Senior Broadcast Producer, and building out unique off-shoots and side projects tied into the Vice News universe.</span></em></p>
