The Media team is projected to be the largest staff team we have, with many subdivisions inside of it since we cover a lot of ground and require a lot of resources to run smoothly. We cover everything from managing MKC's social media pages like Twitter and Twitch to running live broadcasts of our community for major events like MKU and Amplify, all the while looking fresh and professional.

The Media Team is our gateway between the community and everyone that may or may not know what we're all about and the game we play, so we want to be as passionate about what we do as possible, and devote the proper amount of effort to making sure that we reflect it in how we look.

We have a lot of roles to fill here, so allow me to break them down for you.

- Graphic Artist: Graphic artists are responsible for creating all of the visual elements of our media, from stream overlays, all the way down to logos and social media postbits. Graphic artists need to be able to work fluently with graphics software (Photoshop, paint.net, GIMP, whatever works for you) quickly to meet the demand of our social media and broadcasts, and have a sense of professionalism in the art that they create, while keeping things in mind like colours, fonts, and space to ensure that our content is visually appealing for our followers to see.

- Caster/Commentary: Our commentary crew is required to provide information and energy through their voices on every broadcast we make, all the while showing off their personality and humor to give our broadcasts a sense of liveliness. While it may seem easy at first, being a caster can be physically exhausting due to the amount of talking that they do, and having good quality equipment can heavily impact one's ability to cast.

- Stream Host: Stream Hosts do exactly that - they host the stream through their own computer, meaning everything from taking on voice calls for the casters, using software to capture gameplay from players, and streamlining it into one central location, all with no interruptions or technical difficulties. Stream Hosts need powerful computers and great knowledge of the broadcasting tools we use to make our streams possible, while working with our casters to swap slides and present our graphics smoothly.

- Social Media Manager: Our social media crew knows the ins and outs of how our social platforms function to make sure we can communicate big announcements and exciting news publicly in large spaces, all while making our news professional, presentable, and informative in a small amount of words. MKCentral uses Twitter, YouTube and Twitch to present ourselves regularly, so having a large amount of time to dedicate to this role is recommended.

- Writer: Writers will be spending time writing articles for the community to read on the site homepage. The type of work expected would be things like recaps, ranking reveals, or even community surveys. Because writing is a job that offers plenty of preparation, writers will be expected to thoroughly research topics, have interesting takes, a unique style, and good vocabulary, all while being as informative as possible.

- Video Editor/Producer: Editors are going to be our video editing pros. Editors will be responsible for taking previous casts and videos that we’ve made, and making something new out of them for the ease and enjoyment of our viewers. These could include “Best Of” moments, or “Bloopers (no, not the item)”, Top 10 Anime Deaths, whatever the heck you can think of. If you wanna make it, go wild, the world’s your oyster, and we want some original stuff on the channel along with our VODs!
