Job Posting: The International Monetary Fund is Looking for a Multimedia Storyteller
Moments before I checked my email (and found a very interesting job posting from MediaStorm - see below), I had just finished reading an article by David Walker from June 2, 2009 which was posted on Photo District News (PDN) called: Multimedia Journalists Discover Life After Newspapers and subtitled: Non-profits, NGOs and corporations are looking for storytellers, and former newspaper photographers are answering the call.
As layoffs continue to decimate newsrooms all over the country, a pressing question for staff photographers is, what is plan B when the pink slip comes? How do you translate your photojournalism skills into some other means of earning a living?
A handful of former newspaper photographers with strong multimedia skills and some entrepreneurial drive are reporting at least one promising lead: the growing demand for story-driven video production from non-profits and corporations trying to build brands and markets through the Web in particular.
“NGOs and corporations are just now starting to see the power of multimedia stories,” says Brian Storm, founder of MediaStorm. “A pr message has no authenticity. It won’t go viral. Organizations are looking for a new way to get their message out, and journalists can play a role in that.”
Here’s the job posting via MediaStorm:
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) based in Washington D.C. is ramping-up its communication outreach in the area of multimedia, interactive and video technologies. Key to this outreach is the use of visual story telling to illuminate the work of the Fund and how it affects populations around the World.
Effective immediately, the IMF has an opening for a full-time contractual multimedia storyteller. The position requires an experienced individual capable of producing photographs, video and audio using Adobe and Final Cut Pro applications to tell compelling stories concerning the work of the Fund.
Specifically the position requires capturing and acquiring content and composing stories for distribution to the Internet and Worldwide news media outlets. Some international traveled required. Full benefits provided. All tools provided including a recently constructed HD broadcast capable Multimedia Center.
Send inquiries and include contact information to Phughes@imf.org.

I have chlamydia. I knew it after getting tested with a home use rapid chlamydia test kit I ordered from home-bio-test. Although I have chlamydia, I still want a normal sexual life. I don’t like using condoms. Is it effective to prevent the spreading if I take antibiotics before having sex?
