Experienced Editor Radio 1 News (Domestic)

As a radio editor, you recognize news like no other and want to be the first to bring it to the station.

Will you be our new colleague at the Radio 1 News? We would love to hear from you!

(Hilversum | 32-36 hours | CAO contract | max. € 5,056.-)

You know like no other how to weave and produce stories that are or could become the news of the day. You come up with original angles for topics and know how to best convert a news story into good (live) radio. You can quickly get to the core of a news story and are able to look at the news story from different perspectives.

Two shifts are working on the Radio 1 News each day: the morning broadcast shift and the evening shift that partially sets up the broadcast for the following morning. If you have the morning shift, you start your shift at 5:00 AM: what happened during the night and morning that we can produce for the morning broadcast.

If you have the evening shift, you work on topics for the following morning. You prepare news stories, you know what a live contribution or a report needs, and you can spar with the reporter and conduct a journalistic conversation to make the story good and sharp.

"On top of the news, starting the conversation of the day and getting the latest news to the listener first. That doesn't just give a kick, but also a lot of satisfaction." - Anneke Polak, Radio 1 News editor
