If you love unscripted reporting and are ready to redefine how local news is shared, we want you on our team!
What You'll Do Own the Stream: Serve as the face and voice of our night and weekend stream. You will balance real-time coverage of events as they unfold with updates and insights on the day\’s biggest topics.
Keep It Conversational: Ditch the script! Talk with our audience, not at them. You will drive digital engagement during both daily news blocks and breaking, unscripted events.
Master the Tech: We will train you to operate a Tricaster, empowering you to independently produce, direct, and anchor your very own streaming broadcasts.
Be a Team Player: Seamlessly transition between hosting your own live coverage and jumping in to support your talented teammates behind the camera in a producing role, when needs arise.

Agility: The ability to thrive under pressure and pivot quickly as news develops in real time.
Collaboration: Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude.
Flexibility: Weekends, holidays, and varied hours required.
Growth Mindset: You see challenges as opportunities, not obstacles. You want to work with a team of like-minded journalists who want to set the bar in the ever-evolving streaming space.
Qualifications & Skills Experience & Education: Professional Background: Minimum of 2 years of experience as a streaming producer, Multimedia Journalist (MMJ), or Reporter. Education: Bachelor’s degree in communications, Journalism, or a related field is preferred.
