Digital Content Producer
Details:
Don’t just read the news — write it and share it.
FOX10 News is looking for an Digital content producer to join our web team. You’ll help craft the news stories you see every day on our website, but you’ll also be in charge of extending the narrative and amplifying the reach of that content, as well as creating your own stories.
Job Duties
Duties include working in breaking news situations to get information from our assignment desk out to viewers as well as writing information from press releases and editing the copy of reporters to adhere to Associated Press style and english grammar conventions, while ensuring that the content is engaging and accurate. In other words, we want you to be able to write, and do it well!
We may even send you out on your own to cover a story. When you’re not writing, you may be researching and producing photo galleries, infographics, or other elements to help tell a story better.
We’re a force across all screens so you’ll be helping to share our stories via our mobile apps, Facebook page, Twitter feed, text and e-mail. You’ll know what a push notification is.
