General Assignment Reporter
Full-time
Job Description WSYX/WTTE is looking for an experienced, passionate storyteller to join one of the Midwest's most aggressive local newsrooms. We're seeking a reporter with a minimum of four years of professional reporting experience who thrives on enterprise journalism, uncovers stories others miss, and understands that great reporting goes beyond covering scheduled events. If you're driven by curiosity, accountability, and serving your community through impactful journalism, we want to hear from you. At WSYX/WTTE, we believe local journalism should make a difference. Our reporters are expected to break news, ask tough questions, hold those in power accountable, and produce compelling stories that resonate across television, digital, streaming, and social platforms.
Responsibilities
The ideal candidate is naturally curious, relentlessly competitive, and committed to making a difference through journalism. You're someone who doesn't wait for stories to come to you-you develop them through strong sourcing, persistence, and creative thinking. You understand that every story should answer the question, "Why does this matter to our viewers?" and you strive to produce journalism that informs, empowers, and creates positive change in our community. Columbus is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, offering no shortage of stories-from government accountability and public safety to education, business, growth, sports, and quality of life. If you're looking for a newsroom that values enterprise reporting, innovation, and impactful journalism, we'd love to meet you.
