JOB DESCRIPTION

KRIV FOX 26 / KTXH My20, the FOX Duopoly in HOUSTON, TX is re-imagining how local news is gathered and delivered. We no longer wait for appointed times to content. 

We're a STREAMING FIRST news organization. As we continue to evolve, we’re hiring a News Reporter with fill-in anchor potential who has a passion for creating content across live streaming news programs, digital news sites, social media platforms and linear news broadcasts. 

To be successful in this role, you’ll need to have already evolved your mindset beyond linear television thinking and workflows. You should have a demonstrated track record of executing non-traditional storytelling formats using video, text, graphics and music. The content you create will be designed for our live stream, website and social platforms, with the goal of later repurposing these digital-first formats for linear broadcasts. To boil it down even further: We’re not big on traditional old school TV news packages and we challenge our content creators to tell stories with delivery that is authentic (no “anchor voices”) and in ways that are tailored specifically to the platform.

You’ll be a part of our growing 24/7 multi-platform live news strategy, taking ownership of the day’s big stories, in the field and in-studio. While your content will be distributed to digital and social platforms first, on most days you’ll also appear on streaming and linear news programs. When key members of our anchor team take time off, you’ll have the opportunity to bring that digital and streaming-first mindset to the anchor desk.

A minimum of 3 years of experience as a reporter and anchor will get you noticed. A reel that demonstrates your ability to shoot, edit and produce content will move you up the list even further. A robust social media footprint, focused primarily on news-related social media content is a non-negotiable must-have.
