CNN Researcher, The Row - Turner - Atlanta, GA
Duties: The Row has been described as CNN’s editorial gatekeeper. It’s on the frontline of protecting CNN’s brand and values, working with our reporters around the world every day. On an average weekday, The Row will vet upwards of sixty scripts – covering everything from a reporter embed in Afghanistan to weight-watching advice. The Row researchers are an essential link in the approval of scripts – checking their factual accuracy, looking for background information and context. They are also occasionally involved in special projects that demand more in-depth research. The working environment is extremely fast-paced and demanding; researchers are expected to get the best out of dozens of research tools. They are an integral part of a team that ensures CNN’s reporting across all platforms is 100 percent accurate, that our story-telling is as good as it can be and that scripts are vetted and approved as fast as possible. The responsibilities of The Row researcher include checking all verifiable facts in reporter scripts for the CNN Networks, CNN digital and CNN Newsource, as well as affiliate reports. The researchers help manage the workflow of Row Editors and work closely with them on approving scripts. They also prepare background information for CNN anchors, reporters, show producers and the desks during rolling coverage or breaking news. The Row researchers participate in the futures process, preparing research for pitches. The Row researchers sometimes support field correspondents by assisting in package production. But this position is pre-eminently an editorial one -demanding detailed up-to-date knowledge of news stories, an ability to find and marshal reliable sources and communicate effectively with show EPs, reporters and The Row Editors. Qualifications: Successful candidate will have strong analytical skills, attention to detail, the ability to find answers to very specific questions – as well as an intense interest in events around the world. Some editorial experience at either university or post-graduation required. Substantial practical experience using online sources for research is required. Field reporting or production experience at university or post-graduation desirable. Prior research experience or experience as a newsroom assistant or AP desirable. The ability to work quickly under pressure and collaborate closely with others is essential.
