Full Job Description

,Job Description

WMMT, the community radio station of Appalshop in Whitesburg, Kentucky, seeks a motivated reporter/producer to join the WMMT public affairs team, producing mostly audio but also some digital content. The position will primarily consist of creating work for WMMT, but it will also involve regular work and collaboration with the Appalachia + Mid-South Newsroom (more on this below).

WMMT was founded in 1985 and is part of Appalshop— a 50+-year-old non-profit media arts and education center based in Whitesburg, Kentucky. WMMT broadcasts to portions of five states at 88.7 FM, and streams online to listeners around the world. The broadcast schedule is anchored by a roster of 50-some volunteer community DJs, mixed with public affairs programming as well as special projects, such as our world-renowned show Calls From Home, which connects listeners who are incarcerated locally with their loved ones.

This role will focus primarily on producing longer-form audio content for WMMT’s weekly hour-long public affairs program, Mountain Talk, a show which focuses on a variety of topics of local interest, including: regional history, arts & culture, health, education, environmental issues, the local economy, the continuing legacy of the coal industry on local communities, and more. In coordination with the Public Affairs Director, this role will also be responsible for WMMT’s morning News Update, a 5-7 minute pre-recorded roundup of local & regional news.

In addition to the above, possible reporting topics may include: the effects of recent federal & state legislation on the region; Appalachia’s economic future; issues related to flood mitigation and the devastating local flooding of 2022; and more. Past reporting done in similar roles based at WMMT has led to major national awards, partnerships, and broadcast opportunities; these have included investigations and reporting series focused on black lung disease, central Appalachia’s lack of infrastructure for clean water & internet access, and our region’s ongoing, and nuanced, relationship with coal.

This WMMT reporter/producer position is supported in part by funding from the Appalachia + Mid-South Newsroom (AMSN), a collaborative regional newsroom including seven public media news stations in Nashville, TN (WPLN), Knoxville, TN (WUOT), Murray, KY (WKMS), Bowling Green, KY (WKU Public Media), Louisville, KY (WFPL), and West Virginia Public Broadcasting. In tandem with the responsibilities listed above, the reporter/producer will also meet remotely with the editorial team from AMSN, and will produce 1-2 monthly high-quality feature stories for AMSN for broadcast, web, newsletter and/or social media. These stories may be distributed across the stations in the collaborative, or amplified on national NPR platforms.

This is a full-time, in-person position, based in Whitesburg, Kentucky; in terms of working remotely vs. working in-office, this position is flexible, but the Reporter is encouraged to spend at least 1-2 days per week at the WMMT office/studio, if possible. This position is currently grant-funded for one year.

In summary, this role will involve working directly with teams from both WMMT and AMSN to report and produce local stories for local, regional, and national audiences. In producing longer-form work for WMMT, the reporter will have latitude to dig deeply into issues they’re interested in, and, with editorial support & oversight from WMMT staff, will have a unique opportunity to combine both reporting and creative expression. And in producing feature stories for AMSN, the reporter will have a large, regular outlet for work that sheds light on important issues in our region to a wide audience.

General Responsibilities

Work in conjunction with WMMT’s Public Affairs Director & other staff to regularly create longer-form audio pieces for WMMT’s weekly public affairs program Mountain Talk, with a target of at least one piece per month of at least ~20-25 minutes (note: there exists the potential for flexibility w/r/t format for these pieces; we look forward to speaking with candidates about possibilities, as well as their own ideas)
Work with the AMSN team to report and produce 2-7 minute sound-rich audio features and (if applicable) accompanying web articles for distribution by AMSN, with a target of at least 1-2 pieces per month
In coordination with the WMMT Public Affairs Director, produce a regular (specific frequency TBD) 5-7 minute morning News Update/Roundup for WMMT. This will primarily draw from regional sources, and/or self-written summaries of other reported news, but there will also be the opportunity to incorporate self-produced spot reports (e.g., pieces made for AMSN or derived from longer-form WMMT stories) into the newscast as well, as applicable
Follow news relating to southeast KY and central Appalachia, on both a local & wider level, and keep informed on alternative sources for material to possibly broadcast on WMMT.
As much as is practical, be willing to engage in multimedia production, e.g. capturing photos and/or short snippets of video from the field to supplement audio reporting work (for the web/social media).
Assist staff &/or volunteer producers on their radio production work as needed
Assist with digital workflow, including web and social media posts and/or copy
Participate in Appalshop and WMMT meetings and self-governance
Assist with WMMT Spring and Fall Fund Drives
Collaborate on occasional special projects with other Appalshop/WMMT staff and community partners, and perform miscellaneous job-related duties as assigned

Pay: $45,000.00 - $50,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid parental leave
Paid time off
