About The Position

KRON4 News in San Francisco is seeking a Multi-Platform Producer to help create and showcase compelling content across broadcast, streaming, digital, social, and emerging platforms. Multi-Platform Producers are platform-agnostic storytellers who focus on delivering the strongest version of a story regardless of platform. They evaluate each story and determine the most effective format, presentation, and distribution strategy to inform, engage, and serve audiences wherever they consume content. This role plays a key part in maximizing audience engagement by curating, packaging, prioritizing, and presenting content in a strategic and compelling manner across all platforms. Working closely with Content Managers and other newsroom teams, Multi-Platform Producers write and edit content, create graphics and promotional elements, oversee live and recorded content feeds, and ensure stories are presented accurately, effectively, and in ways that connect with audiences. The ideal candidate is a creative storyteller with an understanding of audience behavior, content presentation, and multiplatform publishing. Candidates should have an understanding of, or a willingness to learn, the journalistic principles that guide our approach to content creation. Under the supervision of Content Managers, all content is developed through a lens of accuracy, credibility, fairness, and audience service while embracing innovative storytelling techniques. At KRON4, Multi-Platform Producers are not assigned to a single platform. They are responsible for evaluating content and determining how it can best inform, engage, and serve audiences across broadcast, streaming, digital, social, and emerging platforms.
