WAAY 31 is looking for a Digital Content Producer. The ideal candidate is a news junky who realizes that news online. Everywhere. We want someone who can go beyond “digital first.” This producer will help cultivate exclusive online content, understand social media algorithms and find what’s going to trend instead of what’s already trending.
The right applicant is an aggressive, smart and creative producer who is also a self-starter. It may sound like we’re asking for a lot but the right candidate needs to have a passion for producing TV news. WAAY 31 is dedicated to breaking news, severe weather and investigative stories that make an impact in our community. We want producers with the desire and drive to help achieve that goal every day.
Huntsville, AL is a hidden gem. Rolling mountains surround the city, as do lakes and rivers. We are also home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Space Camp, the US Army’s Aviation and Missile command and the second largest research park in the country. If you like to travel, Nashville is a two-hour drive and Atlanta is a little more than three hours away.
Minimum Requirements
Bachelor degree in Journalism, Mass Communication or equivalent.
Excellent writing, spelling, grammar and copy-editing skills
Must be able to work in a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment
The ability to understand the station’s philosophy and implement it daily
