AJ+ is a global news community for the connected generation. We highlight human struggles and achievements, empower impassioned voices, and challenge the status quo.  <br>  It's is Al Jazeera's mobile app and social stream dedicated for the connected generation.

Our VJ are used to leverage original short  and personal form of storytelling from the ground.

AJ+ VJ stories are not normal news.  A straight-forward look at who, what, when, where doesn’t work for us.  We are looking for stories that are made interesting by the unexpected angle, human side, or visually captivating.   Ask yourself does this story move me or does it just inform me? 
 
Here are some aspects of what makes an AJ+ story:
Unique side angle on a major story.  Also a story that connects two things not commonly associated with each other.
Pushback to conventional wisdom on how the mainstream media (including Al Jazeera) or governments frame an issue.  
Emotional or compassionate side of a story.  Show specifically how people are directly affected by the issue (Emotions go beyond sadness can be awe, humor, anger, love, inspiration, etc…).  
Direct from the ground.  Hear directly from people in the city/town/village where the bigger story is taking place.
 Incredible visual.  Is there something we need to see (and hear) to believe?  This is video, so let’s leverage those stories.  It doesn’t have to be “hard news.”


Commissioned videos will appear at least one of AJ+'s language channels (English, Spanish, Arabic) and potentially on our partner's channels too.

The wildly popular Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, et al. sneakers retail around $150; and unless you're camped out in front of Footlocker hours before open, you won't get your pair. Within days of release, these sneakers will sell more than triple the retail price second hand. A Harlem 10th grader tapped that multi-million-dollar market by opening the first sneaker pawn store.

Men battling baldness have long sought shampoos, toupees, and plugs. Mixed results and high maintenance of these procedures left men wanting a better and more permanent solution. Headstrong NY provides 3D scalp pigmentation - hair follicle tattoos that give the appearance of a full head of hair. The company recently expanded from Manhattan to the Bronx where the treatment has become a trend.

I worked for CBS News for ten years, starting as a page (right this way, sir), and worked up to being a field producer for CBS News/48 Hours covering a wide range of subjects - but mostly crime. I made the jump to digital, working as the Managing Editor of the Crime vertical at CBSNews.com before getting to manage parts of the site that were not crime-related. I am currently the Executive Editor of weather.com, where I help coordinate severe weather coverage and run our Health, Travel and Science verticals.
