About The Position

Be a journalist who can truly do it all! We’re looking for a high-energy, multi-talented storyteller to join KNOP-TV in North Platte, Nebraska. This isn't a "stay in your lane" kind of job. From the anchor desk to the sidelines, and from breaking news to live weather updates, you will master every facet of modern media across broadcast and streaming platforms.

Requirements

A "get it done" attitude: You’re excited by the idea of doing everything—news, weather, and sports—and you thrive on the variety of a small-market newsroom.
Screen presence: Whether you’re behind the anchor desk or live on a smartphone in the field, you bring charisma, clarity, and a digital-first mindset.
Technical curiosity: You’re ready to master ENG gear, non-linear editing (Edius), and newsroom systems (ENPS) to produce professional content on tight deadlines.
Storytelling chops: You have a degree in journalism (or equivalent experience) and a passion for finding the "why" behind every story.
Composure under pressure: When news breaks, you’re the calm in the storm, able to synthesize facts quickly and go live at a moment’s notice.
Community heart: You’re genuinely curious about the people of Nebraska and want to make a real impact in a tight-knit, supportive environment.
A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record are a must for this mobile role.
