The Senior Journalist role for BBC News Streaming involves shaping and directing editorial content for one or several concurrent single-story live streams, and/or supporting others in the Streaming Control Centre as they lead/curate these. Independently making fast, fine judgements about what to report and how is essential, as are the skills to get resources deployed. Equally important is a sophisticated interest in streaming technology and the aptitude to operate these systems without operational support.
