Internet Researcher for Documentary Interviews

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I run Tommy Schuch Media, a documentary/interview platform focused on tower climbers and people working in dangerous professions. I’m looking for an internet researcher who is extremely good at finding people and digging through the internet. I am NOT looking for someone to simply find random tower climbers. I need people with compelling firsthand stories worth interviewing. Examples include tower climbers who survived serious accidents or falls, witnessed fatalities, participated in rescues, worked on major tower incidents or collapses, experienced serious safety or RF incidents, climbed extreme-height broadcast towers, or have decades of unusual industry experience. Research may include Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, local news, OSHA records, GoFundMe pages, memorial pages, industry publications and other public sources. For each lead, I need the person’s name, location, story, relevant source links, social profiles/contact information if publicly available, and a short explanation of why they would make a compelling interview. Do not contact potential interview subjects without my approval. I’m looking for someone who can follow breadcrumbs. A news story might mention a tower accident without naming everyone involved. I want a researcher capable of digging deeper, identifying the workers involved, finding additional information and determining who could make the strongest interview. This can become ongoing weekly work for the right person. To apply, briefly tell me about your research/lead-generation experience and explain how you would go about finding a tower climber who survived a serious accident. Please begin your proposal with “TOWER RESEARCH” so I know you read the entire posting.
