Here's what I need:

1. Strong video shooting and editing skills. I'll need to see clips.

2. Someone who has worked overseas (Africa and India a huge bonus). Basically they need to be able to tap into a network of visual journalists to help me commission video projects.

3. Comfortable with data and making infographics (this skill is would be awesome, but I know I'm also asking a lot).

The World is a one-hour, nationally distributed weekday radio public affairs program co-produced by WGBH, the BBC World Service, and Public Radio International (PRI). The show offers a mix of news, features, interviews, and music from around the globe, developed specifically for an American audience. The World’s companion website, pri.org, offers a similar mix of news and features along with slideshows, videos, blog posts, podcasts, and interactive graphics that expand on the radio content. The World and pri.org use social media and other relevant tools to maximize user engagement and enhance the user experience.
