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.

A degree in journalism (or equivalent experience) and a passion for finding the "why" behind every story.
Composure under pressure: ability to synthesize facts quickly and go live at a moment’s notice when news breaks.
Genuinely curious about the people of Nebraska and a desire to make a real impact in a tight-knit, supportive environment.
A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.

Deliver live weather updates and cover local sports, gaining the kind of well-rounded experience that most journalists take years to acquire.
Lead digital-first publishing by pushing breaking updates, live streams, and custom video content straight to mobile, web, and social feeds the moment news happens.
