About us

Hello, we're Reach. Every day, our trusted news, stories and content connect with millions of people where they live - whether that's on their social feed or at their neighbourhood newsstand; through their local community or their take on the hot topic of the day.


We're home to more than 120 brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like MyLondon, BelfastLive, and the Manchester Evening News, and brands making a splash in the US like the Irish Star.


It's our ability to understand people and the things that matter to them that makes us the UK and ROI's largest commercial news publisher. We reach 70% of the UK's online population, 10% of the US online population, and over 100 million social followers around the world, reflecting who they are, where they live and what they love.

Your story, with Reach

As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.


We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we've built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.


We'll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.

In this role, you'll generate and pitch story ideas, research, and create content specifically designed for digital platforms. You'll produce engaging written and video reports, using creative techniques like graphics and new media to enhance storytelling. Responsibilities include shooting, writing, editing, and delivering high-quality video content optimised for a variety of digital channels. You'll stay ahead of the latest trends in video production and digital storytelling, adapting your work for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and our brand websites.


You'll contribute to strategies that drive revenue through effective video monetisation and compelling affiliate content. Collaboration with brand teams and distribution colleagues is vital to ensure content is optimised everywhere it appears. You'll engage with audiences on social media, analyse performance metrics with analytics tools, and use AI to improve accuracy and efficiency in line with company policies.


Additionally, you'll tailor content for off-platform channels when needed, always maintaining editorial standards. For every story, you'll consider the role of audio and video elements to maximise engagement. Finally, you'll help foster a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have a bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field--or an NCTJ qualification (or be willing to work towards one). You'll need to be proficient with video editing tools like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro, as well as social media platforms. Proven experience as a journalist or reporter focused on digital content is required, with a track record of delivering compelling stories in text and video. Experience working on real-life topics is preferred, along with a strong command of English language and grammar.


We're seeking someone who can create engaging written and video content tailored for different digital platforms, with strong writing skills and the ability to bring personality and the right tone to each story. You should understand SEO for both video and written content, work well under tight deadlines, and consistently deliver high-quality results. Excellent communication, teamwork, time management, professionalism, and adaptability are essential.
