Digital Video Journalist / Social Content MMJ
Full-time
Job Description
We are looking for a creative, self-starting journalist who can create exclusive, platform-first video content for KVII's digital, streaming, and social audiences. This position is built for someone who thinks like a reporter, shoots like a visual storyteller, edits with urgency, and understands how audiences consume news on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, station websites, mobile apps, and streaming platforms . This is not a traditional desk-only digital role. The right candidate should be able to write, shoot, edit, publish, and appear on camera when needed, similar to a traditional MMJ. The primary focus will be producing original vertical and social-first content, but stories produced in this role may also be used on KVII's linear newscasts when appropriate.
KVII serves the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, plus four counties in eastern New Mexico. This role is designed to help KVII reach those communities wherever they are watching, scrolling, searching, or streaming. Responsibilities include:
The ideal candidate is a journalist and creator in one. You should be curious, creative, accurate, and fast. You should know how to take a local story and make it work for someone scrolling on a phone, while still meeting the standards of a professional newsroom. KVII's coverage area offers a wide range of content opportunities: severe weather, agriculture, education, high school sports, Texas Panhandle culture, public safety, local government, military, community events, Route 66, and stories from across the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma Panhandle, and eastern New Mexico. Social video is an increasingly important way audiences discover news. Pew Research Center's 2025 social media research notes that YouTube remains the most widely used social platform among U.S. adults, while Instagram and TikTok continue to be major platforms for younger and mobile-first audiences. This role is designed to help KVII meet viewers where they are while maintaining the credibility, accuracy, and public-service mission of local journalism. Sinclair is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and a drug free workplace. Employment practices will not be influenced or affected by virtue of an applicant's or employee's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.
