NEWS PRODUCER (PRIMARY) - KTIV

Job Summary Do you have a passion for storytelling and a drive to be #1? KTIV News 4 is looking for a high-energy News Producer to lead our multi-platform coverage in Sioux City. If you’re ready to own the news cycle and connect with our community across every screen, we want to talk to you. Duties / Responsibilities Craft compelling newscasts: Write, edit, and produce fast-paced, engaging content for broadcast and digital platforms every single day. Own the digital space: Push breaking news and exclusive content to our website, app, and social media channels first—because that’s where our audience is. Lead the newsroom: Collaborate with reporters, photographers, and anchors to execute a vision that keeps us as "Siouxland's News Source". React with urgency: Pivot quickly during breaking news or severe weather to provide authoritative, life‑saving information to our viewers. Innovate storytelling: Use creative graphics and multi‑platform tools to make complex stories relatable, visual, and shareable. Maintain accuracy: Ensure every script and digital post meets the highest standards of journalistic integrity. Qualifications / Requirements A digital‑first mindset: You understand that news happens everywhere, and you’re comfortable creating content for social and streaming, not just TV. Killer writing skills: You can turn a dry press release into a "must-watch" story with punchy, conversational copy that sounds like a human, not a robot. Calm under pressure: You thrive in the "organized chaos" of a live control room and actually enjoy the rush of a ticking clock. Technical savvy: Experience with newsroom computer systems (like ENPS) and non‑linear editing is a major plus, but your willingness to learn is even better. A degree in journalism: Or a related field, paired with a deep hunger to grow in a top‑rated, award‑winning newsroom. Collaborative spirit: You’re a team player who values feedback, lifts others up, and loves brainstorming the "big idea". Urgency and empathy: You care about the "why" behind the story and the people in the Siouxland community it impacts.
