• Think multi-platform: Help create exclusive content for our streaming audience, ensuring our news reaches people wherever they are.
• Collaborate with the best: Partner with veteran anchors, reporters, and directors who are as passionate about great journalism as you are.
• Master the booth: Learn to booth live newscasts with confidence, staying calm and decisive when breaking news hits.
 Grow your skills: Stay on top of digital trends and audience habits, constantly finding new ways to make our content more interactive and engaging.

Qualifications/Requirements:

What You Bring:
• The Foundation: A Bachelor’s degree in journalism, broadcasting, or a related field (recent grads, this is for you!).
• The Drive: You’re a self-starter who is ready to tackle the overnight/early morning lifestyle with a positive attitude.
• Digital Fluency: You understand that news happens everywhere on social, web, and streaming, and you know how to talk to those audiences.
 Writing Chops: You have strong broadcast writing skills and a sharp eye for detail.
• Cool Under Pressure: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can hit a deadline without breaking a sweat.
• Team Player Mentality: You’re ready to pitch in, learn fast, and support your teammates to get the win.
• Curiosity: You ask the right questions and have the news judgment to know what the community cares about.

Why This Role Rocks:
• Launch Your Career: This is an entry-level role at a flagship station. There’s no better place to build your portfolio and your reputation.
• Real Responsibility: You won’t be sitting on the sidelines; you’ll be producing live content that reaches thousands of people every day.
• Mentorship & Growth: Work alongside experienced pros who are dedicated to helping you become a world-class producer.
• Innovative Culture: We’re leading the way in multi-platform news, and you’ll be at the heart of that evolution.

Job Summary/Description:

Are you looking to start your career as a journalist? KTTC is looking for people who are curious about the world around them, eager to share facts learned while researching stories, and excited to come to work each day knowing they will make an impact.

Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:  

- A typical day for a morning MMJ at KTTC starts with the newscast. KTTC Morning News runs from 4:30-8 am, where your stories crafted the day before are showcased. Then comes the editorial meeting. Here, stories are discussed, and ideas shared that help determine what our lead story will be. MMJs pitch content through Microsoft Teams the day before and come ready to turn stories, having made calls and prearranged interviews in case their pitch is given the greenlight.
- After the editorial, MMJs get to work, confirming interviews, researching facts and background information, and getting out the door to get fresh video. Time management is a critical skill for MMJs, as they are responsible for shooting their own video and interviews, writing and editing their stories for broadcast, and posting their stories to the station website and social media platforms.
- The day ends with an MMJ making their story pitch for the next day, having already made calls and researched the topic ahead of time.
- Our newsroom is young and energetic, led by anchors with decades of experience, eager to share their insights with new journalists. We believe feedback and growth should happen every day, not just during a quarterly or yearly review.

Qualifications/Requirements:

- A college degree is welcome, but not required.
- Strong writing skills are important to this career.
- Above all else, a desire to learn and seek truth is a priority.
- We can teach you to shoot and edit video.
