Pittsburgh Community Broadcasting Group • Pittsburgh, PA

About The Position

Help tell Pittsburgh's story - wherever audiences are. Great journalism doesn't end when a story airs on the radio. It comes alive online, in inboxes, across social media, through compelling visuals, and wherever audiences connect with the news and music they care about. 90.5 WESA is looking for a Digital Producer who is passionate about storytelling, audience engagement, and digital journalism. This role is at the center of our digital strategy, helping bring the work of 90.5 WESA, Pittsburgh's NPR News Station, and 91.3 WYEP, one of the country's premier music stations, to audiences across multiple platforms. If you're equally comfortable copy-editing a story, producing a newsletter, capturing a powerful photo, breaking news online, or finding the perfect headline that connects with readers, this could be the role for you.
