About TEGNA

TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) helps people thrive in their local communities by providing the trusted local news and services that matter most. With 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, TEGNA reaches more than 100 million people monthly across the web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.

WZZM-TV Grand, the TEGNA-owned ABC affiliate in Grand Rapids, is searching for an ambitious Story Desk Editor to embrace our transition to the newsroom of the future.

This hybrid role combines the skills of an assignment editor and a digital content producer to serve as the hub of the newsroom. The Story Desk Editor drives daily editorial execution, curates and produces impactful stories, and ensures our content connects authentically with audiences across streaming, digital, social and broadcast platforms.

As a Story Desk Editor, you will be part of the Story Management Desk (SMD), a unified desk that replaces the legacy assignment and digital desks. The SMD model ensures a single, streamlined workflow for planning, producing and curating stories across platforms.

You will lead coverage during breaking news, shape daily story planning, and curate content across platforms. This position requires decisive editorial judgment, strong writing skills, and the ability to thrive under tight deadlines. You will collaborate with MSJs, producers and photojournalists to deliver accurate, relevant and engaging stories that serve the community.

Responsibilities:

Lead and communicate newsroom coverage during breaking news, ensuring accuracy, urgency and balance
Identify and plan stories that matter most to the community, using editorial judgment and social listening
Create and edit engaging content for digital platforms: website, mobile app and streaming
Guide newsroom logistics and provide editorial support for MSJs, producers, and photojournalists
Edit reporter content for accuracy, grammar, AP style, digital best practices, fairness and ethical considerations
Enhance storytelling with creative elements (graphics, video, audience-submitted content, etc.)
Use available metrics to inform coverage and improve audience reach
Support newsroom operations and coverage planning as needed
Uphold TEGNA's journalistic standards and values across all platforms

Requirements:

BA/BS in journalism, communications and/or equivalent experience in the field
1-3 years of experience writing breaking news articles or writing news articles in AP style
Strong communication and organizational skills and the ability to work under constant time pressure and meet deadlines
Ability to calmly handle live, breaking news situations and rapidly changing coverage
Strong news and editorial judgment, and an understanding of the tenets of professional journalism
Strong knowledge of AP style, copy editing and SEO best practices
Experience with CMS, photo and video-editing systems preferred
The ability to write in an exciting, captivating and conversational tone is preferred
Experience creating and managing content on social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter and Facebook
An aptitude for creating and packaging engaging, audience-driven content
Knowledge of how to interpret and use digital analytics is a plus
Knowledge of Canva is a plus

Benefits:

TEGNA offers comprehensive benefits designed to safeguard the physical, mental and financial health of our employees and their families. TEGNA offers two medical plan options for full and part-time employees through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, as well as access to dental and eye care coverage; fertility, surrogacy and adoption assistance; disability and life insurance.

Our 401(k) program offers full, part-time and temporary employees the opportunity to contribute 1% - 80% of their pay on a pre-tax basis to TEGNA's 401(k). Contributions made up to the first 4% of pay are eligible for a 100% match from the company and are 100% vested from day one.

Regardless of participation in TEGNA medical plans, ALL employees and their eligible family members receive nine free virtual doctor's appointments with a physician through Teladoc, and 12 free annual therapy sessions with a licensed clinician through Spring Health.

TEGNA offers a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) benefit as well as nine paid holidays per year.

Some jobs are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and thus some or all of the benefits described herein may not apply. For example, some newsroom bargaining unit employees receive health and retirement benefits under plans administered by the union.

EEO statement:

TEGNA Inc. is a proud equal opportunity employer. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, hiring and developing individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to add to our collaborative culture. We value and consider applications from all qualified candidates without regard to actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, disability, medical condition, enrollment in college or vocational school, political affiliation, military or veteran status, citizenship status, genetic information, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law.
