• Serve as the point of contact for directors, graphics, and technical staff to ensure show elements are prepared and accurate.
• Assist in overseeing newsroom workflow to ensure stories are fact-checked, visually supported, and aligned with editorial standards.
• Support digital and social media coordination when stories require cross-platform execution.
• Step in when needed to manage timing, adjust rundowns, or oversee newscasts during absences.
