  • Audio: Cut and polish audio clips of key quotes and interviews for on-demand listening.
  • Video: Edit engaging video segments for web embedding and social media platforms.

• News Judgment & Regional Awareness: Strong interest in local news, community issues, and regional topics with solid editorial instincts.
• Digital Media Experience: Background in digital content creation, media production, social media management, or podcasting. A traditional news/journalism degree is not required, but keen news sense is essential.
• Audio & Video Editing: Proficiency with digital editing software to quickly cut, clean, and export short-form video and audio clips.
• Tech-Savvy Workflow: Comfortable using modern content creation software and CMS platforms to publish fast, high-quality digital assets.
