About The Position

KTBC/ FOX-7 is re-imagining how local news is gathered and delivered. We no longer wait for appointed times to deliver content. We're a STREAMING FIRST news organization. As we continue to evolve, we’re hiring a News Reporter with fill-in anchor potential who has a passion for creating content across live streaming news programs, digital news sites, social media platforms and linear news broadcasts. To be successful in this role, you’ll need to have already evolved your mindset beyond linear television thinking and workflows. You should have a demonstrated track record of executing non-traditional storytelling formats using video, text, graphics and music. The content you create will be designed for our live stream, website, Linear News and social platforms. To boil it down even further: We’re not big on traditional old school TV news packages and we challenge our content creators to tell stories for all platforms. You’ll be a part of our highly successful morning news team, taking ownership of the day’s big stories, in the field and in-studio. While your content will be distributed to digital and social platforms first, on most days you’ll also appear on linear broadcasts and streaming news shows.
