Job description

Graham Media Group in Market #14 Orlando, Florida, is looking for a News Producer.

We are looking for an aggressive and experienced producer who lives for breaking news and is an expert at showcasing a dynamic newscast using all the tools in the producer toolbox. Think tight and crisp writing, visuals that explain the story, using all the bells and whistles of an exceptional set, and writing teases that makes your viewer eager to see the next segment.

The best candidate will be able to easily move between producing on air, on Central Florida's #1 local news source ClickOrlando.com, and the News 6+ stream.

Share video of your best producing techniques. If you make it to the interview process, you will be required to take a writing test.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Competitive pay and benefits.

Produce live, local television newscasts

Produce live and curated local news content on News 6+, our connected-TV and digital streaming service, and our website ClickOrlando.com, which delivers one of the largest audiences of unique visitors in Central Florida.

Influence how reporters, anchors, and other newsroom staff develop local stories, and showcase those stories in ways that engage audiences on different platforms.

Help lead the charge in driving breaking news urgently and accurately across platforms in a busy market.

WHAT YOU BRING

Prior experience as a producer in at least 2 newsrooms and confidence in a live news control room.

A sharp, conversational writing style and an ability to leverage process language that showcases journalists at work and the value they're bringing viewers.

Able to work in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, managing deadline pressures and frequent changes.

Fast learning curve when it comes to new technology.

Multi-skilled in ways that stretch beyond the traditional role of broadcast news producer (shooting, editing, streaming, planning, etc).

Strong communicator and self-starter who puts the team first and works hard to ensure the product is high-quality.

Can blend good broadcast journalism with modern innovations in showcasing and content distribution that grow a station brand.

A strong sense of curiosity and an ability to find information on your own, verify the validity of sources, and communicate that information accurately to others.

Willingness to work outside of scheduled hours as breaking news or station efforts require.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:

Proficiency in multiple newsroom and digital content management systems.

A college degree in journalism.
