Strong news judgment, AP-style writing, and demonstrated control-room leadership, with the ability to manage breaking news, multiple live elements, and intense deadlines. Working knowledge of broadcast law, FCC regulations, journalistic standards, and editorial best practices.
• Multiplatform expertise. A strong understanding of multiplatform storytelling, social media strategy, digital video distribution, and audience engagement.
• Technology fluency. Experience with linear rundown software, live streaming production tools, control room automation, digital video editing and publishing workflows, and audience analytics, plus the ability to learn evolving systems quickly.
