  • Produce compelling content for TV, digital, mobile, and social platforms.
  • Enterprise and pitch original story ideas daily in collaboration with newsroom leadership.
  • Use strong storytelling techniques, including effective live shots, creative standups, graphics, and social engagement.
  • Research, gather, verify, and organize story information through interviews, observation, and data sourcing.

  • Strong writing, reporting, and on-air delivery skills.
  • Ability to multitask, work efficiently under deadlines, and troubleshoot in high-pressure environments.
  • Solid editorial judgment and knowledge of journalism ethics and libel law.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and committed to accuracy.
  • Strong conflict-management and interpersonal communication abilities.

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in journalism preferred.
  • Equivalent professional experience may substitute for formal education.

Training & Technology
  • Camera and production equipment
  • Newsroom computer systems
  • Video editing and file transfer systems

Work Environment
  • Must be able to lift and transport equipment up to 60 lbs.
  • Work may involve exposure to extreme outdoor conditions.
