Description
ITN holds a unique archive of news content that spans 70 years. As part of the Archive team, you will support the day-to-day management, preservation, and delivery of digital news content to ITV News, Channel 4 News, ITN Productions, and external clients via Getty Images.
You will help ensure content is accurately catalogued and accessible for editorial and commercial use. This role combines strong attention to detail with an understanding of digital archiving, working in a fast-paced environment where timely access to content is essential.
Key Responsibilities
* Work with our historic archive to identify saleable material for Getty Images.
* Liaise with newsroom researchers to source archive material.
* Use Avid Media Composer to archive news and rushes content.
* Catalogue picture content (bulletin, legacy, and rushes) by assigning accurate metadata.
* Assign legal or copyright restrictions which affect reuse and sales.
* Digitise legacy media formats (Beta and DVC Pro).
* Respond to internal and external archive-related requests and queries.
This is not an exhaustive list of duties but is intended to reflect the nature, range, and context of the role.
Key Requirements
* Strong interest in news, current affairs, and history, with good general knowledge of major events from the last 70+ years.
* Experience in working with archival collections and cataloguing systems (preferred but not essential).
* Attention to detail, strong grammar, and accurate spelling.
* Understanding of copyright principles and restrictions related to audiovisual content.
* Ability to quickly learn and effectively use ITN’s digital asset management and archive systems.
