Job description

Title: Audience News Guide Editor

Schedule Format - Location: Hybrid - San Francisco

Pay Information: Hourly -  $44.71 to $54.60.


This position requires an experienced reporter who is capable of reporting daily news and feature stories 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 spots, features, cut-and-copy, voicers and live on-air debriefings 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.
Addendum:
The Audience News Guides Editor is an experienced journalist who has demonstrated knowledge and experience editing and reporting explanatory journalism that makes news events -- and general challenges of daily living -- understandable and accessible to the communities they affect.
This editor will edit stories, usually in the form of guides, delivered by both the Audience News team (including Outdoors reporting) and the wider newsroom. The editor is also expected to report their own stories and guides. Since this is a newsroom role, the editor is also expected to report on breaking news and have a role in developing audio and video content. 
This Editor also consults with colleagues across the newsroom on story strategies, and questions about journalistic and editorial standards. They advise other reporters, editors and interns as a mentor and develop instructional materials for intern training sessions.
 

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 value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color,  people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.

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).
