S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications
Syracuse University
Syracuse, NY
The producer/GM will oversee the school’s new Web product, which
will feature student work produced for all media platforms in a
state-of-the-art media lab. The lab will serve as a collaborative
environment for majors in online, print and broadcast, the visual
technologies, and persuasive communications.
Minimum qualification: A journalist with substantive experience in a
broadcast, print and/or a Web newsroom, with a background in both
reporting and editing and with a portfolio that demonstrates a
foundation in classic journalism skills and in producing stories in
the multiple platforms - interactives, streaming video and still
photography, and text. Also required: facility with such emerging
communication technologies and trends as podcasting, blogging and
citizen journalism.
The primary responsibility will be the day-to-day oversight of the
Web site, assuring it is professional-quality. The producer/GM will
coordinate closely with professors from all departments to assure the
site is supplied with timely, fresh, high-quality content, and also
will work directly with student teams from across all disciplines,
from product creation through the production process.
The producer/GM must be a strong hands-on editor comfortable working
with young and inexperienced reporters/producers. The candidate will
be expected to remain current with the industry and technology by
forging relationships with work-world professionals, by attending
conferences and trainings, by staying up-to-date with the industry
literature, and by planning an annual summer experience in the field.
The producer/GM will be expected to promote experimentation and
R&D-style initiatives, and to oversee a Web product reflecting
Newhouse’s emergence as a leader in multi-platform storytelling and
content presentation of all kinds.
