News Video Editor

About Help 1 Million People, Inc – FairWealth
Help 1 Million People, Inc – FairWealth is preparing to build a next-generation, video-first, fact-only global news service to fill a critical gap in today’s media landscape. This is a well-capitalized start-up whose founders have a deep history in the global news business.  We plan for our team to gather, compose and distribute approximately 60 1-min anchored video news reports daily, operating one shift Monday through Friday.
Our founders have deep experience, having pioneered an efficient workflow and built a large global audience that has set the standard in newsrooms across the globe. We are committed to delivering factual, unbiased reports on major newsworthy events worldwide. Looking ahead, FairWealth aims to distribute our constantly updated media library to news publishers, aggregators, and digital platforms across the globe. The surge in misinformation and fake news has created a powerful opportunity for our organization to scale.
We focus solely on the fundamental elements of news: who, what, when, and where. Each event is turned into a self-contained, one-minute report, available in three formats: Anchored Video, Text, and Audio. Our content is completely free from opinion, analysis, native ads, and sponsored or promotional material masked as news.
