On-Camera Host

On-Camera Host / Creator – Politics + Current Events (McCosh Films)

Location: Remote / Hybrid (Tennessee preferred)
Type: Part-time to start (growth opportunity)
Compensation: Stipend possible (based on experience and commitment) + long-term growth opportunity / potential revenue share as the show scales
Start Date: ASAP

McCosh Films is launching a new original political + current events segment and we’re looking for a young, polished on-camera host who wants a real opportunity to build something meaningful.

This is not a typical internship or assistant role. This is a chance to host and help shape a show under the McCosh Films brand and grow an audience with credible, story-driven coverage.

We’re looking for someone who follows politics and current events seriously, thinks critically, communicates clearly, and can tell a story like a journalist, not a hot-take machine.

What We’re Building

A digital-first segment focused on:

Politics, elections, policy, and major headlines

Current events with real impact

Smart perspective, context, and storytelling

Clear, credible delivery with strong editorial standards
This segment will be filmed and distributed across social platforms, with the goal of building a loyal following over time.

Who We Want

You might be a strong fit if you are:

Polished and confident on camera

Genuinely engaged with politics/news (you follow it daily)

A strong writer who can simplify complex issues clearly

Extremely organized and reliable (deadlines matter)

Comfortable researching and outlining episodes

Serious about building a personal brand + audience under a real media company

Mature, calm presence (not chaotic or performative)

Professional and fair-minded even when covering polarizing topics

What You’ll Do

Host and help shape a recurring digital segment

Research and pitch episode ideas

Write outlines/scripts and prepare for on-camera delivery

Record short segments (remote setup can work)

Collaborate with McCosh Films on production, edits, thumbnails, and promotion

Help build a consistent publishing cadence and audience

What You’ll Gain

Real on-camera hosting and editorial experience

A professional platform tied to an established production company

Portfolio material and credibility for journalism/media careers

Opportunity to grow into a long-term paid host role as the show scales

Brand-building mentorship and support from a professional team

Requirements

Strong communication and writing skills

Comfortable on camera

Able to commit reliably each week

Passion for politics/news and current events

Professionalism and maturity in public-facing media

MANDATORY Application Requirement

To apply, you MUST submit a 60-second video (no exceptions).

In the video:

Introduce yourself (name, school, major, and why this interests you)

Answer this prompt clearly:
“What’s a current event you’ve seen people misunderstand, and what do you think they’re missing?”

Video can be a private YouTube link, Google Drive link, or uploaded directly if Handshake allows.

Applications without the 60-second video will not be considered.
