About The Position

WECT is looking for a Weekend Anchor/Reporter who is ready to lead our weekend coverage and help dominate the digital landscape. This isn't just about sitting behind a desk; it’s about owning the story across our broadcast, social, and WECT Digital Studio livestream platforms in one of the most beautiful coastal markets in the country.

Requirements

  • A digital-first mindset: You don't just "post to social"—you understand how to craft stories specifically for streaming and digital outlets.
  • On-camera charisma: You have a natural, engaging presence whether you're behind the desk or reporting live from the field.
  • Smart news judgment: You know a great story when you see one and have the skills to enterprise it from start to finish.
  • Strong writing chops: You write for the ear and the eye, crafting scripts that are punchy, accurate, and human.
  • Technical versatility: You’re comfortable with the tools of the trade (including an eye for video, editing, tracking, and operating with the latest technology to go live and quickly send video).
  • Empathy and curiosity: You care about people and the stories that shape their lives.
  • Resilience: You thrive under deadline pressure and can handle the unpredictability of a live news environment with a smile.

Nice To Haves

  • 2+ years of experience in a newsroom is preferred, but your passion and potential matter most.

Responsibilities

  • Lead our weekend newscasts with authority, energy, and a conversational style that connects with our viewers in southeastern North Carolina.
  • Be the face of our livestream newscasts and digital-first updates, engaging with our audience in real-time where they live—on their phones and streaming devices.
  • Enterprise and deliver high-quality daily packages that go beyond the surface, telling the stories that matter most to our community during the week.
  • Create compelling content for TikTok, Reels, and Facebook that stops the scroll and brings our audience into the heart of the story.
  • Pivot quickly to breaking news and severe weather, providing calm and authoritative coverage across all platforms when our community needs us most.
  • Work closely with a producer and production staff to ensure our weekend coverage is cohesive, multi-platform, and always "Where News Comes First."

Benefits

  • Growth opportunities: We’re part of Gray Media, which means you have a massive network of mentors and career paths available to you.
