Us:

News has changed.

More than ever before broadcasters and websites are relying on everyday people to capture video footage of breaking events, weather, nature and sports. Newsflare licenses video content from the public to broadcasters, publishers, news agencies, production companies, advertising agencies and brands across 30 countries. We have mobile and web platforms that allow our contributors to upload video, whilst our tech platform ensures the video is presented to the most interested buying audience.

After launching in 2012, we grew organically to break even before securing a multi-million pound VC investment at the end of 2016. With plans to grow the team to 50 by the end of 2017, and a cool new office space secured in Farringdon, now really is a great time to be joining the Newsflare family as the brand continues its expansion into Asia and the US.

About the Internship:

As an intern you will become an important part of our production licensing team, learning the ropes as an archive researcher and playing a supporting role. You will have the opportunity to learn from our experienced licensing team and gain a range of skills that will serve you well in any production company or news outlet. You will learn the best ways to source viral videos, where to look, how to make contact and bring new contributors on to the platform. Depending on the length of internship, there is also opportunity to move around and learn aspects of the wider business, spending time with the news team, tech team or marketing team.

You will be required to have excellent knowledge of social networks, video platforms and great communication skills. You should be a self starter, good problem solver, have a good phone manner, a willingness to find and approach sources via email or phone if necessary and finally you should have a passion for videos!

About you:
