About the role

News 12 is seeking a Freelance Content Producer to craft and curate digital-first news content, collaborating with editors to adapt traditional coverage for online platforms. You will manage multimedia storytelling, optimize for SEO, and contribute to audience growth across web and social channels. The role requires strong storytelling, technical proficiency, and a keen understanding of digital audience behavior. Frequent travel between newsrooms is expected as part of this freelance engagement.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
