Of these stations, 18 are affiliated with the FOX Network.

JOB DESCRIPTION

KCPQ-TV and KZJO-TV, the FOX O&O duopoly in Seattle, Washington, is seeking an on-air general assignment News Reporter who is passionate about breaking news, enterprise reporting, and dynamic storytelling. If you are an experienced news reporter who can deliver a great live shot, we’d like to see your reel. The candidate must want to own the big story and develop sources. This position requires the ability to effectively break news online and on social media, while also delivering live and taped reports to our TV viewers. The news reporter should also be a top-notch writer, who can carefully match words to video and other visual elements.

The successful candidate should have about five years’ experience on camera in a mid-to-large level TV market. Our news reporters possess the highest standards of journalistic integrity in a major American television market. Accuracy and fairness in news reporting is a must – both online and on television.

The successful candidate should have extensive experience in live reporting during breaking news and other unscripted situations. The ability to edit or shoot video is an added bonus, but not a deal-breaker. This is a full-time position with a regular shift and schedule, but the news is a 24/7 world and that could occasionally include other shifts as breaking news or staffing changes warrant. Must possess a valid driver's license.

Required Skills and Abilities

  • Ability to work independently in a high pressure, fast-paced environment, gathering information to discern the newsworthiness of events.

  • Excellent editorial judgment and the ability to produce content on all newsroom platforms including television, online, and social media.

  • Strong interpersonal skills with colleagues and interviewees.

  • Must be able to work flexible hours, shifts and shows; early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays may be required.

  • Must have a valid driver's license.
