  • Moderate discussions, webinars, panels, and sponsored video programs.
  • Collaborate with editors and colleagues to shape coverage and support newsroom priorities.
  • Fact-check information, maintain strong journalism ethics, and consistently meet deadlines in a fast-paced news environment.
  • Support digital storytelling and audience engagement across multiple platforms.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Journalism preferred; degrees in Communications, English, Writing, Public Relations, or related fields will also be considered.
  • Demonstrated news reporting, writing, and editing abilities through professional, internship, freelance, or campus journalism experience.
  • Strong writing, interviewing, verbal communication, and storytelling skills.
  • Comfortable and confident communicating with senior-level leaders and following up with sources.
  • Ability to develop story leads, conduct research, fact-check information, and meet deadlines.
  • Experience or familiarity with building sources and covering a specific beat is preferred.
  • Ability to conduct professional on-camera interviews and familiarity with video production or editing platforms required.
  • Experience with photography, podcasts, webinars, livestreams, social media, SEO, or digital storytelling is a plus.
