Job Description
LIKE LOCAL NEWS, BUT WISH YOU COULD WORK REMOTELY?
Now you can get your news producer fix, without moving.
You love to produce television news: The creative writing, the compelling video and sound, the showcasing, the rush of breaking news, but your life outside of work has taken root in a particular community, and you just don’t want to give up the place you call home.
We have a rare temporary opening for experienced, self-motivated news producers to produce newscasts remotely for the Scripps local news station in Ft Myers-Cape Coral, Florida.
This is a good fit for you, if you know how to identify the best sound and video for compelling cold opens and teases, and how to collaborate virtually with news managers, anchors, reporters, photojournalists and editors to make editorially-sound decisions and deliver factually accurate content.
This opportunity is ideal for seasoned broadcast professionals located in the Eastern time zone who require minimal to no training to get started. Depending on skillset, experience, and staffing needs, the newscast assignments will span 4-5 days a week and focus on writing or producing for one of the following time periods: late evenings on weekends and weekdays, or weekday mornings. The length of employment for this full-time temporary role is 6 months.
