Everything the NY Post does is meant to do  one thing above all else: grab you by the eyeballs. We seek headline-grabbing videos that lend themselves to compelling visuals and feature standout characters. 
When considering a pitch, the first thing we think about is the headline. The second thought is: “Would we want to share this with everyone we know as something really cool and compelling?”
New York Post videos should embody the brand’s flavor and voice: fearless, brazen, unfiltered and unexpected. 
Online, our audience is worldwide: stories DO NOT have to be New York based. 
The New York Post is the nation’s oldest daily newspaper with the youngest, most ambitious video department. We want to make our mark in digital video as a new media form and create memorable work. 
Our videos have been viewed more than 700 million times to date and we’re winners of a Streamy Award for Best Online Documentary. So come work with us!

AJ+ is a global news community for the connected generation. We highlight human struggles and achievements, empower impassioned voices, and challenge the status quo. 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.

For Mother's Day (peg), I'd like to do a story on female inmates allowed to raise their babies behind bars. The nurseries are decorated like any home nursery but these are in a maximum security prison! Does this program help decrease recidivism? Mother/child bonding during infancy seem paramount so it's interesting to see how this program helps both parent and child.
