Segment Producer: Research & Writing​​​

The position is Dallas-based. Please do not apply unless you are in or are willing to relocate to the DFW metroplex area.

Fundamentals:

A curious mind. You can take deep dives into the research of a subject that most others might glance over or dismiss outright. You'll read an article on (for example) CNBC and then search online for more information about the source used in the article's pull quote.

Dependable. Self-starter. Resourceful. We trust you're going to work hard, be thorough and deliver fully to the scope of the task. On deadline.

Problem-solver. Team Captain. In addition to working cross-functionally (more on that below) you'll be a leader and take a solution-oriented approach.

Devil's advocate. You enjoy writing counterarguments to left-leaning perspectives of any given argument or news story. Methodologies include:

• Most conservative debaters focus on the ridiculousness of the left's positions. This is low hanging fruit and won't help us change the hearts and minds for those on the fence. Instead, we need to know what the best and brightest intellectuals on the left are saying about a given subject. You're familiar with those points and know how to argue them.
• Identify factual inaccuracies in the opposition's argument. Have they conflated two separate topics to cherry pick and craft one false narrative?
• Identify rhetorical inconsistencies in the opposition's argument. Do they live by those standards or is it "rules for thee and not for me"? When did these falsehoods occur? Research, research, research.
• Communicate the argument, and counterargument, in a way that's simple and understandable.
• Bring facts and data to the table to support your position, and stay clear of straw manning.

Communications wizard. You take a topic and turn it into a fully fleshed segment, complete with relevant questions, answers, and applicable research. Example: What is an interesting legal challenge to a state government's lockdown pandemic policies? You might give this article as an example, with necessary points and counterpoints: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-wisconsin-idUSKBN22Q04H

Responsibilities:

• Pitch 3-5 stories to the showrunner for following day's episode. This requires knowledge of:
  • what's current in the news cycle,
  • what resonates with our audience and
  • what we have previously covered and if it relates
• Manage writer/research team – assign stories to be researched and written.
• Collaborate with social media strategist and website writers to identify breaking news stories to be covered on the show. You can take suggestions from these voices and frame them with researched points.
• Run final edits on the show map:
  • Ensure there are no factual inaccuracies or typos
  • Ensure arguments are presented in the most direct and concise manner
  • Review all clips and overlays to ensure the information is correct
• Pivot and expand on information in real time. News is ongoing, and some stories need more details as the conversation unfolds; you're quick and comfortable in this constant reality.
• Conduct deep dive research into important meat segments (2-4 per week)
• Keep a pulse check on mainstream outlets (including but not limited to the late-night sphere) to internally facilitate conversation and next steps.
• Research and write prep documents for major news/political events such as candidate debates, State of the Union addresses, press conferences, etc. You'll be the main source for nuances about policy, background of the policies, know whom their donors and high-profile surrogates are, etc.
• Be well-versed in YouTube's Community Guidelines: we always strive to abide by platform requirements. You need a good grasp of what can be said, shown, and ensure those guidelines are followed and applied daily. It's not productive for personnel's time to be used on something that can't be aired.
• To be clear: the scope of this role, while based in Production, is for research and writing. This is not location scouting, permit clearances, styling, or other tenants of content-based production.

Application Materials:

To apply, please email materials to iamyourexpert@louderwithcrowder.com, and in the subject line include the job title (noted at the top of this listing) and #Fightlikehell

• Resume
• Cover Letter: tell us in a couple of paragraphs about you, your interests, and what experiences (professionally or fundamentally) caught your eye about this position. Why do you want to do this job and at this company? What is your leadership experience?
• Writing sample, topic: "Americans under the age of 18 should be vaccinated for COVID." Provide three short paragraphs with sourcing that support this statement. Then craft three paragraphs to counter it.

Salary: based on experience

Associate Producer: Research & Writing

The position is Dallas-based. Please do not apply unless you are in or are willing to relocate to the DFW metroplex area.

Fundamentals:

• News aficionado: you love the news and analyzing stories from various sources
• BLAZING FAST search skills: "Googling" is a fundamental and encouraged, but you should also tap into searches on Twitter, Reddit; any legitimate online sources.
• Go beyond the surface. For example, if NBC News or CNN quotes a factoid from a poll, you'll take the extra step and highlight any nuance not reported editorially (i.e., size of polling group, is the demographic too myopic).
• Quickly translate data and research into interesting, accurate and relevant points for the show. Example: what are the top 5 states with the most COVID attributed deaths and what states have the least? Similar to: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/
• Source obscure video clips on tight deadlines. YouTube, Rumble and Vimeo are all fair game, but you should be able to keyword, target, omit, skim and scrub like no other.
• Organized: you'll constantly juggle multiple, time-sensitive requests. This job has no room for anyone but an organizational master.
• Understand the conservative viewpoint and frame arguments within it.
• Collaborator. You'll own the execution of your tasks and work with others, keeping an open dialogue about daily events (political, sports, movies, music, celebrity culture and viral trends). You must be comfortable with constant chatter!

Responsibilities:

• Support the Show Segment Producer by identifying interesting and/or breaking news stories.
• Prepare "prep documents" of historical facts, relevant legislation/political figures and/or contrasts one locality to another (i.e., "the handling of COVID in California vs. Florida").
• Research and write segments on various topics. We aren't asking you to be an expert, but we are relying on you to research the topic itself. What's interesting about any of these topics and what are the top 10 things the audience should know? You'll bring the facts and balance the creative process.
• Aggregate and espouse facts in an audience-friendly communication style.
• To be clear: the scope of this role, while based in Production, is for research and writing. This is not location scouting, permit clearances, styling, or other tenants of content-based production.

• Identify three of the most important and/or highest trending new stories that are on-brand for the show and write 1-2 sentence loglines that outline:
  • Who are the players?
  • What is happening? How do we want to inform the audience?
  • Why should the audience care?

Salary: Based upon experience
