What are the responsibilities and job description for the NABET On-Call TV Editor position at KQED?
The On-Call TV Editor is principally responsible for filling-in for the post-production video editing of KQED’s television program “Check, Please! Bay Area” and related show elements, such as promotions. AVID is the primary editing system, but this position requires familiarity with Adobe Creative Cloud, including Premiere and After Effects. This position will be responsible for understanding the entire workflow of the show’s post-production, including ingesting, roll-ins, craft editing, audio sweetening, color-correcting, final exports and delivery to Master Control. This position is part of the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET) union.
KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.
We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.
