They are expected to help generate enterprise story ideas. Understanding coverage needs on social media, streaming, and digital platforms is expected. Collaboration with others is a must for this position, and candidates should be open to feedback with a desire to grow in their role.

 

Please include a link to a newscast or demo reel showcasing your producing experience and skills.
