JOB DESCRIPTION

This is a rare opportunity to join one of Florida’s top TV stations. WTVT-FOX 13 in Tampa is looking to hire a three day a week reporter and weekend streaming host. We are the dominant station in the market and continue to evolve the way we serve our viewers. Besides our traditional newscasts, we are a streaming first news organization. As a reporter you will innovate, write, and deliver compelling content across every platform, from the linear newscast to a breaking news live stream. On the weekend, you’ll produce and host our expanding streaming news.

We want a journalist who has evolved beyond linear television thinking and workflows. The content you create will be designed for all our news platforms. It’s not always about turning a news package, it’s about connecting with our viewers to tell stories for all platforms. As a streaming host, we want someone who can go beyond the script and fuel meaningful conversations, connect with audiences, and bring curiosity, insight, and personality to every story.

Job Snapshot:

• On-Air Presence: Present stories live in-studio and from remote locations when reporting, taking full ownership of the final content and delivery.
• Linear & Streaming Expert: Produce and present extended, unscripted live content from the field for our newscasts and live stream.
• Digital & Social First: Write sharp, effective text copy for our digital sites and maintain an active social media presence.

A minimum of 3 years of experience as a reporter and anchor is preferred. A reel that demonstrates your ability to shoot, edit and produce content will get you noticed. This is not an entry-level position or a position for candidates who do not have a news gathering background.
