Job Introduction
Africa’s media landscape is changing. It is one of the fastest developing news markets in the world with mobile technology transforming lives, internet connectivity increasing, the radio market remaining relatively strong and television migrating from analogue to digital.
The BBC World Service remains the leading international broadcaster in Africa, reaching a weekly audience of more than 100 million across all platforms and Social Media.
Over the next four years, the BBC World Service will be expanding its multimedia operations in Africa by doubling the number of language services from 6 to 12. Three of the new language services, Amharic, Afaan Oromo and Tigrinya, will serve our audiences in Ethiopia and Eritrea. They will be based in Nairobi from where the BBC produces programmes for Kiswahili and Somali speaking audiences.
As a result of this exciting expansion we are seeking a world class journalist to take on the challenge of leading the BBC Tigrinya Service. This leadership role will see you delivering a dynamic range of digital and radio content which will appeal to a young audience. You will be instrumental in providing creative leadership and vision, to maximise the BBC World Service’s impact and potential in Africa.
