Digital Producer (Temporary) (Information Technology)

GBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives.

At GBH, we believe in the advantages of coming together to build community, mentor and learn from colleagues, and connect more deeply with our mission. As a result, the majority of our staff are hybrid and work both from home and onsite. Our current hybrid approach requires staff to work onsite a minimum of two days each week, every Tuesday and one other day, to be determined by their business unit. Hybrid staff are also welcome to come in additional days each week or may be asked to come in on other days by their manager.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

GBH's Forum Network is a public media service funded by the Lowell Institute. 

We are documentarians, stewards of the public's trust, and every day we strive to capture and project the public voice. Our speakers are scholars, authors, artists, scientists, policymakers, and community leaders. Our viewing audience consists of discerning, lifelong learners whom we seek to inspire. When they listen to one of our great talks, they experience a deeper understanding of our history, culture, science, literature and politics.

We work with a large network of local organizations around Boston to document public speaking events that we believe more people should see. We support GBH by building community connections and showing up for public gatherings and important conversations. We reference our extensive video archive every day as topics surface in the news, sharing accessible information with our subscribers who want to learn more. Our nimble unit is out shooting every week, and we contribute to GBH's local news department. Our work inspires reporters and editors by showcasing newsworthy events we might add to broadcast, or by introducing them to new sources from our vast list of documented speakers.
