We require an editor to produce coherent five-minute recordings from 60-minute recordings.
Each one-hour recording is of an interview conducted by Sharq. Each interview has been transcribed and the interviewer has highlighted select strong quotes to assist the editor in selecting audio passages to stitch together to produce a five-minute recording suitable for publication online.

For each interview…
The editor will be provided with:
- The original recording (approx. 60 mins)
- Transcription of the recording
- A 500word summary of the story told
The audio edit does not need to mirror the story outlined in the summary, but it may provide useful.
The editor will provide:
- An audio recording of between 3 and 5 minutes long, ready for publication online
- A Transcript with the quotes included in the audio edit highlighted.
We require 54 interviews to be edited. Approximately two-thirds will be in Arabic (with an Arabic transcript) and one third will be in English (with an English transcript).

The work must be completed and delivered by end of August 2019.
