WCBI-TV has an immediate opening for a full-time Reporter/Multimedia Journalist.
We want someone ready to learn how to tell a story and learn why journalism matters to our
community. Our next MMJ will be creative, self-starting, ready to learn, and be a positive
newsroom leader.
We want someone who can tell a story by writing to their video and using sound to enhance the
quality of their story-telling ability.
Our candidate will need to have a can-do, positive attitude, work independently, meet deadlines,
and be willing to learn through critiques.
