CGTN Radio, part of China Global Television Network (CGTN), connects millions of listeners worldwide by sharing impactful stories and news with a focus on China and beyond. Through flagship programs like The Beijing Hour and language podcasts such as Takeaway Chinese, we offer diverse content across radio, digital, and social platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Copy-edit stories for CGTN Radio's website, radio shows, and social media channels.
  • Proofread scripts and written content produced by Chinese colleagues for native-level fluency.
  • Polish articles, podcast introductions, video subtitles, and social posts to ensure linguistic authenticity and platform-specific tone.
  • Reorganize and refine copy for maximum clarity, readability, and cross-cultural accessibility.
  • Interpret and adapt Chinese cultural references (festivals, idioms, history) for international audiences.
  • Create SEO-optimized headlines, summaries, and descriptions to enhance discoverability on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
  • Meet tight editorial deadlines and collaborate with a dynamic international team.
  • Take on additional editorial tasks as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Journalism, Communications, Media Studies, or related fields.
  • Minimum of two years' professional experience in media writing, editing, or content production.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing polished, audience-ready work across digital or broadcast media.
  • Familiarity with SEO practices and content strategies on major platforms (e.g., YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts).
  • Solid understanding of Chinese culture, current affairs, and an eagerness to adapt to new cultural contexts.
  • Ability to thrive under deadline pressure with flexibility to work irregular hours, including weekends and holidays.
  • A collaborative mindset and open attitude toward feedback and team projects.

Preferred but Not Required:

  • Knowledge of SEO and digital content performance strategies.
  • Experience editing or producing culture-focused content (podcasts, documentaries, features).
  • Proficiency in Chinese communication (a plus, not mandatory).

Why Join CGTN Radio?

  • Make an Impact: Help bridge cultural gaps and bring authentic Chinese stories to a global audience.
  • International Environment: Work alongside passionate, diverse, and mission-driven colleagues.
  • Career Growth: Sharpen your editing, cultural translation, and multimedia communication skills.
  • Beijing Experience: Live in one of the world's most vibrant cities, rich in history, innovation, and opportunity.
