Weekend Anchor/News Reporter

Job Description The content generation team at FOX 26 is re‑imagining how local news is gathered, presented and disseminated across multiple platforms with an emphasis on streaming. We are hiring a Weekend Anchor/Reporter to anchor weekend streaming hours, and during the week you will focus on reporting across multiple platforms and fill in behind the desk as needed. Key Responsibilities and Qualifications A streaming and digital first mindset, that has evolved beyond TV news constructs. You’re not talking about your plan for the 5 pm or 6 pm newscast – you’re talking about how you will deliver content NOW and throughout the day on FOX Local. You ditched the “anchor voice” long ago and have mastered a more authentic style of delivery that doesn’t rely on a teleprompter. In fact, we don’t even use teleprompters in our 7 hours of daily live streaming news. You already understand and execute non‑traditional storytelling formats using video, text, graphics, and music. You create that content for live streaming, website, and social platforms in a way that can later be repurposed for linear. You’re totally cool never doing a TV news package again. Our creators are learning to tell stories with less formality, more authenticity (no “anchor voices”), and in ways that are tailored specifically to platform. You’ve already created a significant social footprint across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Your content is rooted in news, not just selfies and vacation photos. You must have at least 5 years of experience as an anchor and reporter in a professional news operation. Candidates who have experience hosting unscripted, live news streaming programs will really get our attention. This is not an entry‑level position or a position for candidates who do not have a news gathering background. We’re a 24/7 news operation, so you must be able to work non‑traditional hours, including early morning or late‑night shifts, weekends and holidays as needed.

Compensation and Benefits Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay rate/range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is $110,000.00‑120,000.00 annually.
