About the Role
Are you a digital-first storyteller with a sharp pulse on local news and regional issues? We aren't looking for traditional newsroom press-release rewrites—we are looking for a News Content Curator & On-Air Host who understands what makes news truly valuable and knows how to package it for web, social, and broadcast platforms.
In this role, your primary mission is to curate, package, and elevate high-value news content (audio, video, and text) across our digital channels. In addition to driving our digital news product, you will host a daily 1-hour midday radio program covering the top headlines of the day and deliver concise local broadcast updates.
