  • Monitor social media, wire services, websites and other news sources
  • Collaborate with colleagues about news coverage (i.e. propose and contribute to daily and long-term coverage plans)
  • Promote news coverage on a variety of channels, including broadcast, social media, the Audacy app and station website
  • Contribute content to the station's social media channels, the Audacy app and the station website, KCBSradio.com
  • Protect the station's FCC license
  • Other duties as required by management

  • Required to join SAG-AFTRA
  • This role is contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.

Physical Requirements:
  • Ability to sit, stand, and work at a computer for prolonged periods, with reasonable accommodations provided as necessary.
  • Occasional lifting of materials up to 20 pounds, such as office equipment, documents, and presentation materials.
  • Visual and auditory ability to respond effectively to stakeholders, manage presentations, and participate in meetings.
