Job Title: Multimedia Editor

Location: Remote

Position: Full-Time

Hours: Monday–Friday, with potential for occasional weekend shifts

About The Role

McClatchy Media is redefining the way visual content drives digital storytelling. As a Multimedia Editor, you’ll be at the forefront of our digital media operations, managing high-stakes image research, copyright clearance, and visual strategy for our online platforms. This is not a passive research role—it’s a fast-paced, decision-heavy position that requires expertise in digital rights management, creative problem-solving, and a deep understanding of the evolving media landscape.

Key Responsibilities

  • Curate and distribute the most impactful imagery from both subscription and non-subscription sources, ensuring maximum editorial and viral potential.
  • Secure permissions and negotiate usage rights for breaking news images, working against tight deadlines to clear assets for rapid publication.
  • Assess copyright risks of social media assets, ensuring legal compliance without sacrificing speed or impact.
  • Lead complex photo research for non-subscription sources, ensuring editorial teams have access to high-value, rights-cleared imagery.
  • Strategically negotiate exclusive paparazzi purchases, balancing budget considerations with the demand for high-impact, newsworthy visuals.
  • Seamlessly adapt print content for digital, securing necessary rights and optimizing images for an online audience.
  • Execute advanced Photoshop edits for high-profile digital posts, ensuring every image meets the highest visual standards.
  • Provide technical expertise and support to writers and editors, as the responsibility for routine photo research shifts to their domain.
  • Stay ahead of AI-driven tools and innovations in photo editing, content generation, and digital rights management, leveraging technology to enhance workflows and visual storytelling.

What You Bring To The Table

  • An expert-level understanding of digital media rights and copyright clearance, with a proactive approach to risk assessment.
  • A strategic, editorial mindset—you don’t just find images, you shape visual narratives that drive engagement.
  • Advanced Photoshop skills, with the ability to enhance and manipulate images for high-quality online presentation.
  • A keen eye for viral potential and a deep knowledge of pop culture, celebrity news, and digital storytelling trends.
  • The ability to multitask and work at the speed of breaking news, handling multiple high-priority projects simultaneously.
  • A proven track record of managing exclusive paparazzi negotiations and sourcing high-value, hard-to-find content.
  • A curiosity for AI-driven media technologies, with a willingness to explore how AI can optimize image sourcing, editing, and verification processes.

This is a role for someone who thrives in the high-energy, ever-evolving world of online media. If you're ready to push the boundaries of digital photo editing and visual storytelling, send us your resume and salary requirements today.
