The Medill School at Northwestern University, one of the nation’s top journalism schools, is looking for an "accomplished leader in video storytelling" to help steer the school’s multimedia evolution.<\/p>\n
The full job description is available on Medill’s website<\/a>. Here’s an excerpt describing what the school is looking for:<\/p>\n Candidates must have an outstanding professional record that spans video-creation for a variety of screens and media. They must be able to demonstrate strong enterprise story-finding skills; how their teaching and\/or professional career to date has had impact in and on journalism and other communications professions; and how audience understanding informs their work. They must also be able to point to a record of effective leadership and management. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While the published application deadline (Jan. 3) has now passed, Medill will continue to review new applications.<\/p>\n Prof. Rich Gordon, who is chairing the search committee for the position, said the person hired will play a critical leadership role in developing curriculum and teaching video and visual storytelling.<\/p>\n "Like many journalism schools, our broadcast\/videography curriculum historically focused on preparing a fraction of our students for careers in on-air television reporting," Gordon said. "Now we teach video storytelling to all of our journalism students, and we’re increasingly educating those who want to work behind the camera — shooting and editing, creating great video stories, in short and long form, for screens of various sizes."<\/p>\n Medill isn’t just looking for a teacher, Gordon said. Medill wants someone with a continuing passion for creating original video journalism and\/or conducting original research that provides insights on effective video storytelling in today’s media environment, he said.
