4 News Now, a Morgan Murphy Media company and the ABC affiliate in Spokane, Washington, is a family-owned, people-first newsroom. The community is at the core of what we do and who we are and we believe it is our duty to inform, but also to inspire.
About this opportunity:
Want to work in a newsroom where you have the creative freedom to try new things? Want to produce and present compelling, informative content across all platforms? Come work for 4 News Now. We're looking for a smart, creative, hard-working, engaged storyteller to serve as our News Content Producer. Your primary job is to produce one of our dynamic, compelling newscasts on our brand-new, state-of-the-art news set. You'll work with an experienced team of newsroom managers, producers and anchors – and, alongside a team of excited journalists, always looking for interesting ways to deliver content. You'll also help to develop content for our digital platforms – and mine those platforms for news content that translates to television. Your work will have meaning, as we strive to connect with our community and tell the stories that truly impact their life. We're more about quality and context than story count. Here, everyone's voice matters in developing our vision and strategy for local news. All this, and you'll do it in an up and coming city, where you can spend your off hours exploring exciting restaurants, outdoor activities and adventure instead of sitting in your car in a long commute.
