About The Position

4 News Now, a Morgan Murphy Media company and the ABC affiliate in Spokane, Washington, is a family-owned, people-first newsroom. The community is at the core of what we do and who we are and we believe it is our duty to inform, but also to inspire. We're looking for a smart, creative, hard-working, team player to join our news team. Your primary job is to help produce one of our fast-paced, successful, engaging evening newscasts. You’ll work with an experienced team of newsroom managers, producers and anchors – and, alongside a team of excited journalists, always looking for interesting ways to deliver content. We aim to inform and inspire in creative ways and believe in listening to the audience to determine how best to fit their needs. Your work will have meaning, as we strive to connect with our community and tell the stories that truly impact their lives. We’re more about quality and context than story count. Here, everyone’s voice matters in developing our vision and strategy for local news. All this, and you’ll do it in an up-and-coming city, where you can spend your off hours exploring exciting restaurants, outdoor activities and adventure instead of sitting in your car in a long commute.
