Write with urgency and clarity — bold, viewer-focused copy that gets to the heart of the story immediately. Make calls, build sources, and dig for stories — don't wait for news to come to you.
Collaborate with producers and the content team to shape the best possible newscasts and digital presence. Uphold the highest standards of journalistic ethics, accuracy, and fairness in every story.
Candidates should have at least two years’ experience as a newscast anchor for a broadcast news station or news website. Looking for a candidate with strong on-air delivery of news. Must be able to prepare material for delivery of newscasts and develop reporting stories.
The successful applicant’s background must include, at minimum, a bachelor’s degree in communication, journalism or a related field. Have at least 2 years of on-air reporting experience preferred; entry-level candidates with strong skills and a compelling reel will be considered. Experience or strong aptitude as an MMJ — comfortable shooting and editing in the field. Must have a breaking news mentality — urgency, adaptability, and the drive to be first and right. Confident live presence and strong on-camera delivery. Be active and engaging on social media — fluent in Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram as storytelling platforms. Strong writing skills — clear, urgent, and built for multiple platforms. Valid driver's license and clean driving record required.
