Duties/Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

- Shooting videos and stills for our digital platforms and gathering information in the field

- Collaborating with reporters and producers on stories
- Maintaining equipment and vehicles as assigned by newsroom managers
- Editing rundowns to provide quality and dynamic newscasts for our audience
