In addition to generating story ideas, you must have the ability to report, shoot, and edit video on your own. Be prepared to run your own live shots every day. You will respond to breaking news and embrace a culture of urgency. We report news on every platform, so you will also post web stories/ pictures/videos to serve our digital and social audience.
