  • Partner closely with executive producers, morning show producers, photojournalists, and field crews to adapt stories effectively across multiple platforms.

  • Perform other newsroom and community engagement duties as assigned.

Minimum Requirements & Qualifications

  • 3 to 5+ years of professional experience as an on-air anchor, streaming host, reporter, or Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) in a fast-paced environment.

  • Exceptional on-camera presence with proven unscripted delivery, live ad-libbing, warmth, and outstanding interviewing skills.

  • Proven capability to transition smoothly from high-energy lifestyle and feature interviews to unscripted breaking news and serious field reporting.

  • Basic experience with digital streaming workflows, video tools, and digital platforms to independently assist or anchor streaming broadcasts.

  • Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills under intense deadline pressure while maintaining strong journalistic integrity.

  • High school diploma required; 4-year college degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field preferred.

  • Deep familiarity with the San Francisco Bay Area, its diverse communities, current events, and local culture is highly favorable.
