  • Develop and maintain a network of news sources to create exclusive local news content
  • Stay current on both local and national news events
  • Work cross-functionally and cooperatively as a team member under tight deadlines
  • The ability to interact professionally and effectively with all internal KBJR employees and external organizations
  • Ability to read and understand a variety of materials ranging from daily newspapers / news sites, professional journals, technical reports, and legal documents
  • Ability to interpret information to establish facts and determine truth
  • Ability to be a creative thinker and find new and entertaining ways to present information
  • Should be well presented on-camera with the ability to deliver copy ready from a Teleprompter or similar device
  • Act as a team player and newsroom leader while displaying an ability to handle a variety of tasks, and make sound decisions in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, stressful environment
  • Have the willingness to anchor from the field and work on special projects as assigned
  • Demonstrated ability in good news judgment
  • Ability to interact with all levels of station and corporate management while working well with producers, reporters, and technical staff to help craft compelling and memorable newscasts
  • Qualifications / Requirements :

  • Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
  • 2 years of experience as a television anchor or reporter
  • Basic understanding of Windows-based electronics and the ability to learn ENPS as well as new systems as they are implemented.
  • Ability to work a flexible work schedule and work as a member of a team.
  • Must possess an advanced understanding of newscast presentation.
  • Must possess excellent writing and graphics skills with the ability to provide an interesting and substantive product.
  • Must be results-oriented.
  • Ability to focus on coordination of daily and long-range segments from first contact to on-air product.
  • Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work in a creative, fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to make quick decisions without losing composure.
  • Must be able to manage multiple projects and assignments simultaneously.
  • Previous experience with script writing and editorial experience preferred.
  • Gray Media provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetics.
