Job Title: Producer
Department: Production
Division: Programs
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Reports To: Senior Producer
Status: Full-Time, Regular
POSITION OVERVIEW
StoryCorps’ mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world. Since 2003, over 100,000 participants have visited StoryCorps to record a 40-minute conversation with a loved one. To date, StoryCorps has collected over 60,000 stories from across the country, creating the largest oral history archive ever recorded.
Each week, a team of our producers takes one of those full conversations and shapes it into a 2-3 minute, highly crafted story for our Peabody award-winning weekly broadcast series on NPR.
The Producer works on a team led by the Senior Producer to produce high-quality, original stories for StoryCorps’ broadcast series, to air nationally on NPR. This position requires excellent research and reporting skills, and involves regular national travel to record StoryCorps interviews. The producer also creates other content to support the organization, including edited segments, promos, and audio for internal and external use, and is responsible for the digital components for broadcast stories including both text and visual content.
StoryCorps seeks to reflect and celebrate our nation’s diversity in our work and to amplify the voices of people not typically heard in mainstream media. You’ll be an ideal candidate for this role if you share our commitment to presenting these stories with authenticity and sensitivity, and have demonstrated experience producing content featuring diverse voices, for diverse audiences.
