About Company:
News Maximum Ltd is a modern Nigerian news organisation committed to accurate and timely reporting. We deliver verified news across politics, business, security, entertainment, and global affairs. Our platform combines professional journalism with innovative digital media tools. We prioritise integrity, clarity, and responsible sourcing in all our content.
Job Description:
NewsMaximum Nigeria is expanding its digital frontiers, and we are looking for the new voice (and face) of our newsroom. This is a high-impact role for a "Media Polymath"—someone who can break a story on WordPress, anchor a viral news segment from their own personal studio, and edit high-octane video content for a mobile-first audience.
You aren't just reading the news; you are producing it. From sourcing verified leads in the digital noise of social media to managing our web architecture, you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of credible, engaging Nigerian current affairs. If you are a Lagos or Abuja-based creator who thrives at the intersection of journalism and technology, this is your platform.
Requirements:
1. Multimedia Anchoring & Video Production
On-Camera Presentation: Deliver professional, clear, and confident news segments. We value a dynamic "intermittent" presence—showing your face to build trust while utilizing B-roll and graphics to drive the story.
Cinematic Editing: Use professional software (Premiere Pro, CapCut, or Final Cut) to transform raw footage and sourced assets into high-retention news videos.
Studio Governance: Maintain and operate a personal mini-studio capable of producing broadcast-quality audio and video consistently.
2. Digital Journalism & CMS Management
WordPress Mastery: Take full ownership of the NewsMaximum website, including formatting, SEO-optimized publishing, and categorized content organization.
Responsible Sourcing: Navigate the digital landscape to find verified stories, ensuring 100% compliance with copyright laws and providing proper attribution to all original sources.
Multimedia Storytelling: Adapt a single news story into various formats—a long-form web article, a 60-second Reel, and a detailed YouTube segment.
3. Audience Growth & Social Strategy
Channel Management: Grow the NewsMaximum footprint across TikTok, Instagram, and X (Twitter) by understanding the nuances of digital engagement and algorithm behavior.
Community Engagement: Monitor comments and trends to identify what the Nigerian audience is talking about in real-time, feeding those insights back into the content loop.
Brand Integrity: Ensure that all digital content reflects the modern, credible, and dynamic values of NewsMaximum LTD.
Qualifications and Skills:
Professional Profile
Education: Degree in Mass Communication, Journalism, or Media Studies.
Technical Gear: Must have a functional personal studio and a high-performance computer for video editing.
Location: Must be based in Lagos or Abuja.
Portfolio: Evidence of active, high-quality content creation on personal social media handles.
Core Competencies
Editorial Judgment: Ability to distinguish "fake news" from verified reports.
Technical Fluency: Deep comfort with WordPress and professional Video Editing suites.
Communication: Exceptional command of English with a "broadcast-ready" tone and presence.
