Jobbeschreibung

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox TV StationsFOX Television Stations (FTS) owns and operates 29 full power broadcast television stations, including stations in 14 of the top 15 markets and duopolies in 11. Eighteen are FOX Network affiliates, and together the stations produce approximately 1,300 hours of local news every week. FOX LOCAL, the company's free ad-supported digital and streaming product, extends that news, weather and local content across connected TV & mobile devices. LiveNOW from FOX expands the FTS portfolio even further as the only national streaming services to be truly live 24/7, covering breaking news and events as they happen.

JOB DESCRIPTION

At FOX 7 Austin, we don't wait for the clock to tell us when to deliver the news. Our mission is 24/7 content delivery - meeting our audience where they are, whenever they need us.

During your shift, you'll help us create and distribute content in real time - whether that's live in the field, collaborating through Slack, or publishing directly to our digital platforms. Some days you'll team up with a reporter who shares this same fast-moving, audience-first mindset. Other days, you'll take the lead independently. You may even lend your voice to a live on-air moment or step in front of the camera to help us tell the story.

We're evolving beyond traditional linear TV workflows. That means fewer standard "TV news packages" and more dynamic, creative storytelling designed for digital audiences. We're looking for someone who's excited to experiment with format, embrace non-traditional storytelling techniques, and create content that's relevant, memorable, and impactful.

Most importantly, this is a fun, collaborative newsroom in one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Austin moves fast, thinks creatively, and values authenticity - and so do we. If you're energized by innovation and want to help shape the future of local news in Austin, this is a cool opportunity to do just that.
