About The Position

FOX6 Milwaukee is looking for a journalist who thrives in the field rather than behind a desk. Our station is redefining the “beat reporter” for the modern era. We are seeking a high-energy, digital-first reporter to serve as the face and voice of Kenosha and Racine Counties. You won’t be based out of the station; you’ll live and work directly in the communities you cover. We want a reporter who can work with a photographer to meet the audience where they are: On their phones, on their social feeds, and on our live streaming platform.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related field with a minimum of 2 years’ reporting experience in a commercial television news operation with strong editorial judgment.
  • A passion for storytelling and a consistent track record of bringing “big ideas” to editorial meetings with a vision for TV, digital, and streaming delivery.
  • Strong on-air skills in the field with a proven ability to ad-lib and handle breaking news situations with ease including handling unscheduled, spot interviews.
  • Newsroom computer and related software skills and digital editing skills preferred.
  • Must be a self-starter, organized, and excel with time management.

Responsibilities

  • Digital First: Produce daily, high-impact content specifically tailored to our livestreaming products and digital platforms.
  • Hyperlocal Ownership: Own the Kenosha/Racine beat by cultivating a deep network of sources, from local officials to community leaders, ensuring we are the first to know what’s happening.
  • Short-Form Video Production: Regularly create content on all platforms, including but not limited to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, to drive audience engagement.
  • Live Skills: Showcase strong LIVE reporting skills and the ability to communicate complex stories in creative, digestible ways…even and especially without a script.
  • Aggressive Reporting: Dig beneath the surface to find unique, high-impact, hard news stories.
  • Team Player: We want the type of person who strives to lead the broadcast and break the mold while always prioritizing team interest over self-interest.
