Al Jazeera English has a travelogue & culture show called '48'. The people who produce the show in the UK are looking for some local assistance in Hong Kong to help with the next program.
Basically the emphasis of the show is very much on what it is to live in the destination city as a local, rather than looking at key attractions through the eyes of a tourist. Because of this the show relies heavily on finding the right fixer who will appear on camera as well as help develop stories
The show's spiel is: "Through the personal stories of local guides, intrepid journalist Amanda Palmer and the crew have just 48 hours to find the beating heart of their chosen city. Their searches uncover everything from cultural and religious events to the social and economic backdrop of each unique location, all seen through the eyes of the people who call it home..."
To resonate with the show's main audience they are looking for a young, funky, energetic journalist / fixer, preferably born and bred in Hong Kong . It would be a dual role - firstly helping to generate and develop stories, researching and production coordination (eg. filming permits, car hire, sourcing kit), and secondly acting as an on-camera guide alongside our presenter.
TV experience is not essential, but they do need someone with a journalistic sense of what makes a good story. The show usually requires 7-10 days of ad-hock research, over a period of several weeks. Excellent spoken English is very important.

The show is hoping to shoot early next year, possibly as early as January 10th so they need to find a fixer/guide as soon as possible.
If you are interested, please email your resume and a photo to China Media News, and it will be passed on to the representative at Al Jazeera.
