About the role
Northlight Broadcast Network is a fictional television network. This sample listing illustrates an on-air correspondent role that requires fluent English and French, delivered live from a studio campus and occasionally from the field.
The correspondent would help the international desk explain diplomatic news, summits and cross-border stories to viewers who watch the evening bulletin, and would work closely with producers and editors to shape each segment.
What you will do
- Deliver live reports and short packages in English and French for the evening bulletin.
- Write clear, conversational scripts and adapt them quickly when news breaks close to air.
- Prepare background notes, maps and graphics requests with the international producer.
- Interview officials, analysts and residents with fairness and accuracy, and translate or paraphrase carefully when working across languages.
- Take part in editorial meetings and contribute story ideas for the international desk.
- Follow the network's standards on sourcing, impartiality and corrections.
What we are looking for
- Professional broadcast experience, with a showreel that includes live reporting.
- Fluency in English and French at a professional level, both spoken and written.
- Knowledge of international affairs and a record of explaining them without jargon.
- Calm delivery under time pressure and comfort with working to a strict countdown.
- Willingness to work evening shifts and, occasionally, to travel at short notice.
How the team works
The correspondent sits within a small international desk that includes a producer, a researcher and a video editor. The desk works to a daily rundown and a morning conference, and each reporter owns one or two stories at a time.
In this sample listing the role is on-site at the studio campus because live broadcasting needs close contact with the control room. Relocation support is described as a possibility for the right candidate.
Pay and conditions
The illustrative salary range is EUR 70,000 to EUR 90,000 for a full-time role. It is a made-up figure for this launch edition and does not describe a real broadcaster.
A real listing would explain shift patterns, travel rules, hostile-environment training and what relocation support includes. Adjustments for disability or caring responsibilities can be discussed during the process.
