JOB DESCRIPTION

KCPQ-TV and KZJO-TV, the FOX O&O duopoly in Seattle, Washington, is seeking an on-air general assignment News Reporter who is passionate about breaking news, enterprise reporting, and dynamic storytelling. If you are an experienced news reporter who can deliver a great live shot, we’d like to see your reel. The candidate must want to own the big story and develop sources. This position requires the ability to effectively break news online and on social media, while also delivering live and taped reports to our TV viewers. The news reporter should also be a top-notch writer, who can carefully match words to video and other visual elements.

The successful candidate should have about five years’ experience on camera in a mid-to-large level TV market.

Must possess a valid driver's license.
