We’re hiring. One of our brilliant segment producers is moving on. We congratulate him and wish him the best -- but that doesn’t mean we’re going to let his seat get cold before we start working to fill it. If you’re interested, please email UpwithChris@msnbc.com and tell us about yourself. Use the subject heading “Segment Producer” so we can group them all together easily, please. Please do not attach resumes unless we contact you and ask for one.
What are we looking for? We’re looking for a writer/researcher/producer, preferably with experience in TV news. If you have no experience in writing/producing TV news you need to have an extremely strong background in another relevant field, such as politics/political science or print/online journalism. Please be advised this is not an entry-level job. We are looking for candidates who already have a strong sense of journalistic ethics and standards but are also capable of both creative thinking and of turning material around quickly under pressure. If you do not have experience in TV news, we'll need to see strong evidence that you possess the qualities we're looking for--so please send us links to videos you produced, stories you broke, analyses that made waves or other posts that might demonstrate your suitability for this job. Thanks and good luck.
Jonathan Larsen is the executive producer of Up w/ Chris Hayes. You can follow him on Twitter @JTLarsen.

Well if you felt like moving the whole show to the west coast.... I'd love to apply :)
Good luck with your search, the show is well done UP to now, getting better is the only option. Thanks for all the work you folks do.
Whoever you hire, ask them if they know the terms "chronological order",'cause evidently, no one there now, knows!!!!! You guys have totally spoiled the enjoyment of watching "UP"online. Since that is my only choice, I'm still very dissatisfied.
Saturday's show, almost--almost followed an order of sorts. Can't you guys figure something out. Melissa's show plays better than this one. Can't you number them or something? Is it really that hard to do? Come on,get with the program, will ya'!?!?
As I, too, am on the west coast, and have no experience as a segment producer, I am afraid I am unqualified to apply. But if you are ever looking for jobs that involve literature or cultural studies, please keep me in mind! Love the show, love the level of conversation that you and MHP and the many folks you work with bring to the table every week, and I wish I could be a part of it from San Diego!
