  • Tool Proficiency: Experience with (or ability to quickly learn) Sony video cameras, Adobe Premiere, BitCentral, iNews, LiveU/LU-Smart, and field audio equipment.
  • Communication & Professionalism: Ability to communicate clearly, effectively, and politely with public officials, news sources, station staff, and the general public.
  • Computer & Tech Literacy: Strong digital literacy with an eagerness to adapt to evolving field technologies.

Education & Experience
  • Experience: Minimum of two (2) years of experience as a news videojournalist (or equivalent role) in a commercial TV newsroom.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university preferred.

Requirements
  • Driving: Must have a valid driver's license and an exemplary, clean driving record.
  • Schedule: Per diem scheduling requires operational agility to support breaking news and evolving coverage needs.

Why Join WAGA-TV?
This per diem role puts you in the middle of the action in a premier Top 10 market. It is an ideal platform to showcase your eye for news, sharpen your mobile transmission skills, and collaborate with one of the most respected news teams in Atlanta.
