This position requires an experienced reporter/host who is capable of reporting daily news and hosting newscasts and other on-air programming in an authoritative and conversational manner that connects with audiences. KQED reporters are expected to produce journalism across all platforms, including audio and text, as well as social and other media.
Reporters must be proficient at writing and producing all aspects of on-air news elements for broadcast and must be equally proficient at writing text stories and producing other online news content.  Reporters are expected to produce content for relevant platforms, such as video, email newsletters and apps.
Reporters at KQED are also expected to contribute to news planning, staying atop daily local and national news through multiple sources. A KQED Reporter must also be capable of working across a number of different departments, with colleagues of varying experience levels, and complete their work under deadline pressure.
Politics Reporter Addendum
A Politics Reporter is part of a team that is responsible for comprehensively and accurately reporting on the politics affecting the people of the Bay Area, California and the nation. This includes local and statewide political races, leaders, trends and policy debates.

This reporter participates in live events and other politics-related projects that are designed to meet the evolving needs of KQED’s audiences. 

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.

We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.

This role will work hybrid between working in KQED's newly renovated headquarters and working remotely. 


The successful candidate will be required to join The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).

Essential Functions:        
  • Researches, writes and reports newscasts for radio, podcast, broadcast, the web, mobile and social media platforms.
