Full-time

Re-posted yesterday


Job description

WKBN-TV is looking for an energetic, creative Full-Time News Producer with strong news judgment, solid writing skills, and a passion to win. We're seeking a journalist who goes beyond stacking a rundown-someone who finds original content and tells meaningful stories in compelling ways across broadcast, digital, and streaming platforms.

This role produces daily newscasts and contributes to WKBN+, our growing digital streaming platform, helping shape how we tell stories across multiple screens.

We're looking for a motivated, organized producer who thrives under deadline pressure, thinks beyond the obvious, and is driven to land the big story. You should be passionate about local news and committed to telling the stories that matter most to our community.

Youngstown offers great food, great people, and access to Ohio's largest metro park. Pittsburgh and Cleveland are each about an hour away.

What You'll Do

  • Build and produce engaging newscasts and streaming content
  • Write, edit, and organize stories for newscasts
  • Pitch original story ideas and contribute to editorial decision-making
  • Monitor scanners, phones, social, and digital sources for breaking news
  • Collaborate with anchors, MMJs, and newsroom staff daily

What We're Looking For

  • Strong writing, grammar, and storytelling skills
  • Solid news judgment and attention to detail
  • Ability to multitask and thrive under deadline pressure
  • Team player who communicates well across departments

Details

  • All shifts possible, including nights, weekends, and holidays
  • Degree in Journalism, Communications, or related field (or equivalent experience)

Join a newsroom that values enterprise reporting, creativity, and multi-platform storytelling-while living in a community close to Cleveland and Pittsburgh, with easy access to everything in between.
