Who We Are

Off The Press is a digital news brand focused on capturing and delivering high-quality content in real time. We bring key moments — from Capitol Hill to major national events — directly to social audiences, meeting them where they are.

Role Description

We are looking for a Live Event Clipper to join Off The Press's Rapid Clipping Team. This is a fully remote role for journalists and video editors who thrive in fast-paced news environments and know how to identify the moment before it trends.

As a Live Event Clipper, you will:

Monitor live events in real time — Capitol Hill hearings, press conferences, and more
Identify compelling moments as they happen
Quickly clip, caption, and publish videos to social platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and X
Collaborate with team to maintain a daily schedule of events and ensure livestreams are set up on Off The Press platforms

In this role, speed matters — but strong instincts matter more. Your work will power Off The Press across several social media platforms and deliver content our audience won’t see elsewhere.

You’re a Great Fit If You:

Can edit, caption, and publish accurately within minutes
Are comfortable monitoring live events for extended periods
Understand how different social platforms reward different strategies
Have strong news instincts and recognize moments that will resonate immediately
Have experience using Adobe Premiere or similar editing software
