About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You research topics thoroughly and meticulously, from the first source to the surprising detail
You turn research into the script in the channel's voice: short sentences with rhythm, concrete imagery instead of adjectives (taken apart, dissected, honestly examined), human and approachable, like a friend who’s read too much.
You build suspense instead of merely retelling events.
You construct the story and have modern storytelling in your blood.
When writing, you think about how the material could later be represented visually.
I give you the topic, core question and direction — you turn that into the story.
