Newscast Producer (Nightside) - Koln

Gray Media•Lincoln, NE

About The Position

Are you a detail-oriented, creative journalist who thrives in a fast-paced environment? The 10/11 News team is seeking an Evening Newscast Producer to take the lead on our market-leading newscasts at 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Our producers are true newsroom leaders. You will contribute daily to elevating our newscasts. The ideal candidate is passionate about storytelling, thrives under deadline pressure, and has a strong grasp of local and national news. This producer will craft compelling, visually engaging newscasts that inform and connect with our audience on all platforms. While the evening newscasts will be your primary objective, 10/11 is rapidly evolving to keep up with the demands of viewers who are seeking out local news on all platforms. You will be cross-trained to produce content for our social media, website, and streaming desk. You must be an innovator who can see the big picture, as well as someone who is a stickler for the details, writing conversationally (for TV) and with AP Style (for digital).

Adaptability and hunger to learn: The media landscape is always changing, and you're excited to evolve with it.
A true team player: You lift others and know that the best work happens when we collaborate.
A strong candidate will have a responsible presence on digital platforms, including social media.
