WITNESS is looking for a Media Lab Fellow to make a key and direct impact in human rights.

The ability of ordinary people to capture events in their communities and share their footage with the world is changing the nature of human rights documentation. Their videos provide access to detention centers, conflict zones, rural communities, and city streets, capturing abuse in real time by those who live, witness, and experience it. But with so many videos online, there are new challenges to ensuring that they are used safely and effectively to make an impact. How do investigators, advocates, and reporters find and verify videos that expose injustice? How do we make sense of footage from multiple sources, and connect it to meaningful opportunities for justice and accountability? And how do we do so while ensuring the safety of individuals onscreen and those behind the camera?

The WITNESS Media Lab is dedicated to identifying and addressing these challenges, and communicating what we learn to peers in the journalism and human rights community. In collaboration with peers around the world, we develop, model, and support innovative approaches to sourcing, verifying, and contextualizing eyewitness videos and ensuring that footage taken by average citizens can serve as an effective tool for human rights. WITNESS believes that the next stage of human rights documentation and advocacy will be powered by videos created and shared by eyewitnesses. The skills needed to use those videos safely and effectively are critical to harnessing the incredible potential that stands before us.

The WITNESS Media Lab Fellow is responsible for working on WITNESS’ efforts around identification, verification, contextualization, and presentation (“curation”) of eyewitness video for human rights documentation and advocacy. They lead on a range of activities that collectively develop WITNESS’ support to impactful curation projects and position as an innovator, resource-creator, and thought leader. This includes both leading and supporting on curation and innovation projects around eyewitness video, ensuring these projects receive attention and are shared broadly in the journalism and human rights community, providing thought leadership, developing WITNESS’ institutional knowledge and understanding of innovative approaches to eyewitness video curation, and supervising the priorities, projects, and budget of the WITNESS Media Lab to support the above objectives.

In the next year, the WITNESS Media Lab Fellow will work on projects around police violence in the US, immigrants documenting their rights in the US, perpetrator video in the Middle East, innovation in live-streaming and audience engagement, and new approaches to providing effective civic witnessing guidance.
