AFP is seeking a Bangkok based digital verification journalist with strong digital investigation and precise writing skills to fight against mis/disinformation in Myanmar.
The role is an exciting opportunity to be a part of AFP’s fast-growing fact-checking network, which has seen it take a leading role in the global fight against mis/disinformation.
The successful applicant will be required to write fact-check reports in English and in Burmese about mis/disinformation circulating in the region. From time to time, he/she will also be encouraged to pitch and write stories on mis/disinformation for the wire.
In an ever-changing media environment, the nature of the job could evolve in line with coverage demands and the requirements of an increasingly diverse client base.
While the journalist will specialise in fact-checking, duties will also extend to other reporting roles in the bureau depending on the demands of the daily news coverage.
The successful candidate will contribute to the fight against mis/disinformation and will have undertaken digital verification training.
