About The Position

We’re looking for a Part-Time Writer to join the Good Morning Arizona team — the most fun, high-energy morning show in the desert. This isn't about writing dry, robotic scripts; it’s about crafting the voice of the morning for Phoenix, delivering news with personality, urgency, and absolute accuracy while the clock is ticking. If you can write for the ear, nail the details, and keep your cool when the "On Air" light starts flashing, we want to talk to you.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Journalism, broadcasting, related field, or equivalent work experience.
Ability to work under pressure, adapt to change, meet deadlines, work well as a team, and work independently.
Exceptional communication skills and excellent knowledge of current events.

Nice To Haves

You have a "killer" writing style that is natural, engaging, and perfectly suited for the fast-paced GMAZ vibe.
You don't just meet deadlines; you beat them, maintaining high quality even when the pressure is at its peak.
You have a hawk-eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy that never wavers, no matter how fast we’re moving.
You understand how to pivot content for social and streaming platforms (because news happens everywhere now).
You’re eager to learn, quick to adapt, and ready to jump in wherever the team needs you most.
You’re a morning person (or a very good actor) who is ready to handle the unique schedule and pace of a top-tier morning show.

Responsibilities

Craft sharp, conversational scripts that sound like a person talking, not a news bot, ensuring our anchors connect authentically with viewers.
Thrive under the pressure of tight morning deadlines, delivering clean, ready-to-air copy without breaking a sweat.
Double-check every fact, name, and number because in our newsroom, being first only matters if you’re also 100% right.
Adapt your scripts for our digital platforms, ensuring our stories are just as compelling on a smartphone screen as they are on a 65-inch TV.
Work closely with producers and editors to marry your words with the best video and graphics, creating a seamless experience for our audience.
Pivot quickly when breaking news hits, rewriting on the fly to keep our coverage urgent and relevant.
