In the modern news landscape, the story doesn't wait for a crew. We are seeking a high-energy, versatile Multi-Media Journalist (MMJ) who has the skills to find, shoot, write, and edit compelling content across every platform-from the newscast to a breaking news live stream.

As an MMJ in a Top 10 market, you are a one-person powerhouse. You'll have the editorial freedom to cultivate your own sources and the technical tools to deliver high-quality journalism from the field, whether you're using a professional Sony camcorder or a smartphone.

The Role: What You'll Do

You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of a news story, ensuring our audience gets accurate information first, no matter where they are watching.

  • Enterprise Reporting: Actively participate in the editorial process by using your contacts and sources to cultivate original story ideas daily.

  • Solo Field Production: Shoot, write, and edit high-quality news packages for broadcast and digital platforms.

  • Live Streaming Expert: Produce and present extended, unscripted live content from the field for our live stream, mastering the art of the "mobile journalist" using smartphone technology and accessories.

  • On-Air Presence: Present stories live in-studio and from remote locations, taking full ownership of the final content and delivery.

  • Digital & Social First: Write sharp, effective text copy for our digital sites and maintain an active, engaging presence on X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram.

  • On-the-Go Delivery: Travel for overnight assignments and utilize file-based delivery systems to send content back to the station in real-time.

What You Bring to the Table

We are looking for a journalist who is as comfortable with a camera as they are with a keyboard.

  • Technical Proficiency: Significant, current experience with Sony camcorders and Adobe Premiere Pro (or similar NLE systems).

  • Communication & Style: Strong writing skills with a mastery of conversational broadcast style, English grammar, and punctuation.

  • Live Performance: Excellent on-camera delivery with the ability to handle unscripted breaking news situations with poise.

  • Editorial Independence: The confidence to make sound editorial decisions in the field under daily deadline pressure.

  • Public Relations: A polite and professional communicator who can represent the station effectively during promotional appearances and in the community.

Education & Experience

  • Experience: Two (2) years of experience as an MMJ at a commercial television station is preferred.

  • Education: Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university in Journalism, Communications, or a related field is preferred.

  • Requirements: A valid driver's license and a clean driving record are mandatory.

Why Join Our Newsroom?

This role offers the ultimate platform for a journalist who wants to do it all. You will be supported by a team that values operational agility and innovative storytelling. If you're ready to take your career to the next level in a major market, we want to see your work.
