News Photographer

Fox Television Stations • Atlanta, GA

About The Position

In the fast-paced world of Top 10 market news, the Videojournalist is the eyes, ears, and voice of our coverage. We are looking for a visual storyteller who can do it all: shoot cinematic video, edit under intense deadline pressure, and provide compelling live narration for both broadcast and streaming platforms. This is not a "behind-the-scenes" only role. You will be on the front lines of breaking news, often working independently to gather interviews and provide real-time audio/video reporting for our digital audience.

Requirements

• Expert-level news videography and non-linear editing skills with a proven ability to meet tight deadlines.
• Ability to deal effectively and politely with the public, government officials, and station staff, even in high-pressure situations.
• A flexible mindset ready to pivot as news breaks and business priorities evolve.
• Proficiency with newsroom computer systems (or the ability to learn them quickly) and live broadcast hardware.
• Minimum of three (3) years of experience as a News Videojournalist (or equivalent) in a commercial television news department.
• Must have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.

Nice To Haves

• While primarily a behind-the-lens role, previous experience with on-camera or audio-only narration is a significant plus.

Responsibilities

• Shoot high-quality video, audio, and stills in the field, newsroom, and studio using creative photography and lighting techniques.
• Present extended, unscripted live content for our streaming platforms. You will often work solo, using a smartphone and professional accessories to narrate live events as they unfold.
• Collect information and conduct interviews at the scene of news events to ensure our reporting is deep, accurate, and first.
• Operate live transmission equipment (bonded cellular, etc.) and maintain all assigned gear to ensure it is always "air-ready."
• Partner with reporters and producers to craft compelling packages and live shots that stand out in a crowded media landscape.
• Contribute breaking news information, stills, and video clips to the station’s website and social media channels in real-time.

Benefits

• medical/dental/vision

• a 401(k) plan
