Digital News Content Creator

This is a Full Time Job

This is not a traditional producer role, and it’s not a traditional reporter role. It’s a hybrid journalist-creator position: someone who can report and present stories, shoot and edit vertical video, and craft content that travels seamlessly across broadcast, streaming, social, and mobile platforms.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love experimenting with new formats, and want to help reinvent the future of local journalism… you belong here.

Key Responsibilities
• Develop original stories from pitch to publication and collaborate in the production of multiplatform content for our newsroom.
• Shoot, edit, produce, and publish native content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, FAST Channels and OTT platforms.
• Deliver compelling, authentic on and off camera content across vertical and horizontal formats.
• Write scripts, headlines, captions, web articles, and app push alerts optimized for younger audiences.
• Think out of the box to produce quick-turn explainers, live updates, field hits, digital segments, and social-first stories.
• Collaborate on and off camera to produce livestreams with vMix in breaking news, severe weather coverage, and special events.
• Collaborate closely with newsroom producers, reporters, photographers, and digital leadership to elevate storytelling and brand voice.
• Identify trends, audience conversations, and local stories that resonate with Gen Z and Millennials.
• Use analytics and insights to inform creative decisions and help grow digital communities.
