Full Job Description

LehighDaily.com is looking for a part-time contract Local News Video Creator to bring Lehigh Valley stories to life on camera in a fast, modern, social-first way.

This is a hands-on contract opportunity for a scrappy creator-journalist who can take approved story ideas from concept to finished video, often solo and in the field. You'll pitch and accept assignments, track down facts, gather info, show up on location, capture the key visuals, and report on camera with the personality and polish of a professional creator.

These are short, punchy 30–60-second news reports built for TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, reaching more than 110,000 followers across social channels and generating 10M+ content views per month. You'll collaborate directly with the founder/editor-in-chief on coverage priorities, angles, and final deliverables.

This role is built for someone lightweight, mobile, and resourceful, comfortable moving quickly with an iPhone, small mics, basic creator tools, and a strong instinct for getting the shot, the soundbite, and the report

Compensation: $25/hour

This is a part-time, contract / non-employee role. Work volume will vary depending on the news cycle, content calendar, and contractor availability.

Responsibilities

You will create video reports from start to finish, including:

Pitching and developing local Lehigh Valley story ideas
Collaborating on coverage, angles, tone, and deliverables
Researching stories, gathering information, and verifying facts
Going into the field to capture visuals, moments, interviews, and “money shots”
Reporting on camera in a clear, engaging, social-native style
Writing tight scripts and hooks for short-form video
Shooting b-roll, interviews, standups, and on-location footage with lightweight gear
Editing or coordinating edits into clean 30–60-second reports
Preparing videos for TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook formats
Keeping a pulse on social video trends, formats, and platform best practices
Using performance feedback to improve future videos

Qualifications

The ideal contractor is a self-starting go-getter who's comfortable carrying a story from pitch to post without constant direction.

You should have:

Comfort and charisma on camera
A sharp instinct for what makes a story worth telling visually
Strong writing, communication, and storytelling skills
The ability to work independently, move quickly, and take ownership of deliverables
Good judgment, attention to detail, and follow-through
A field-first, creator-style mindset: resourceful, mobile, and scrappy
Deep familiarity with social media and current video trends
Comfort using tools like an iPhone/camera, small mics, CapCut, Premiere, Google Docs/Sheets, and Canva
Knowledge of the Lehigh Valley community is strongly preferred

Nice to Have

Reporter, journalist, creator, or newsroom experience
An existing audience or social video portfolio
Experience shooting social video in the field with lightweight gear
Relationships with local businesses, creators, community leaders, or organizations
Light editing, captions, overlays, graphics, or thumbnail skills
Experience growing accounts or going viral on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook
