In this dynamic, nights-and-weekends role, you will host unscripted live coverage of breaking news events in real time, engage with digital audiences through chat and produce VOD content to inform our audience about topics that matter most. We are looking for a journalist who thrives in the fast pace of breaking news, doesn't need to rely on a teleprompter, and knows exactly how to connect with digital viewers on a personal, human level through a conversational approach. 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.
What You'll Need
News Junkie Mentality: A strong knowledge of current events, topics making headlines and stories that matter to our audience.
Confidence: Proven ability to communicate clearly and confidently, on camera and off, in a fast-paced breaking news environment.
Sharp Instincts: Excellent editorial judgment, strong research skills, and a meticulous attention to detail.
Digital Fluency: Basic experience with digital news production, live streaming workflows, and newsroom technologies. Familiarity with a Tricaster is a huge plus, but a willingness and ability to learn new technology quickly is a must.
Strategic Mindset: Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and always think several steps ahead.
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.
