RESPONSIBILITIES:
Percentage of time spent on each area will vary according to skills, needs, and experience.
Monitoring: Researchers are responsible for identifying, researching, and rebutting false narratives that advance a conservative agenda. Aside from watching cable news, monitoring duties may occasionally include watching other news outlets and listening to prominent right-wing radio shows, reading blogs and traditional print publications, and examining social media to identify emerging or trending falsehoods. Researchers are responsible for passing along key takeaways and observations from what they have monitored to other members of the team.
Clipping: Researchers are responsible for clipping problematic segments, for both the Media Matters website and social media, following internal protocols.
Narrative Building: Researchers are also responsible for tracking larger media narratives and the key strands of misinformation Media Matters is engaged in. Researchers should keep close track of social media narratives.
Research: Researchers are responsible for producing detailed and in-depth research that serves as the backbone for Media Matters content. Researchers will often turn this research into published content.
Documenting: Researchers are responsible for summarizing the media they monitor to Media Matters’ internal archive and for flagging emerging and persistent strands of misinformation – including but not limited to problematic rhetoric and imagery.
Editing: Researchers are often responsible for editing content posted to the Media Matters website for content and clarity using appropriate AP and MMFA style guides.
