A rare opening for a multi-media journalist who wants regular work without being chained to a desk. If you can write, film and think for yourself, this is the kind of gig that doesn’t come around often.
Manx.News is growing fast and we’re looking for someone who has a nose for news, knows how to chase a story, build a narrative and isn’t afraid to dig when something doesn’t smell right. You’ll have the freedom to work from virtually anywhere, as long as you can deliver sharp journalism and strong visuals.

- Multimedia storytelling — write clean copy, shoot solid footage, and turn it into something people want to watch.
- Creative features — human stories, long‑form pieces, documentary‑style video.
- Regular assignments — consistent work without losing your independence.
- Boring Stuff – Yes, we won’t lie, in a newsroom there is also the run-of-the-mill press releases and other stuff that needs turning around…sorry!
What You Bring
- Real newsroom experience — you know how to work a story from start to finish.
- Video skills — comfortable shooting and editing your own material.
- Strong writing — crisp, accurate, and built for digital audiences.
- Independent thinking — you don’t wait for permission to investigate.
