Graham Media Group in market No. 15 — Orlando, Florida — is looking for a Senior News Producer.

But it’s not just another grinding TV producer job. It’s a content innovator who can produce TV, streaming and digital content. It’s energized and inspired. And it will give you access to some tremendous coaches who are veteran reporters and producers with a combined century of local journalism experience between them.

You know this role is a fit for you if you are good at capturing and producing “real life” – accurate and impactful local journalism – with a sense of urgency and creative visual showcasing. You have a little bit of a competitive edge, you’re fast at solving problems and you thrive on an energetic and committed team working in a busy newsroom. And you’re driven to contribute to a greater calling of keeping people informed and safe, while holding others accountable and telling stories that can make our communities better for all of us.

When you get here, you’ll help us take those gold standards of a competitive local newsroom and combine them with new technologies and smarter ways of doing things, the final goal being a valuable local news service that grows audiences everywhere News 6 can be found.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

Competitive pay and benefits.
Produce a live, local television newscast Monday-Friday
Produce live and curated local news content on News 6+, our connected-TV and digital streaming service, and our website ClickOrlando.com, which delivers one of the largest audiences of unique visitors in Central Florida.
Influence how reporters, anchors and other newsroom staff develop local stories, and showcase those stories in in ways that actively engage linear, digital, streaming and social audiences.
Help lead the charge in driving breaking news urgently and accurately across platforms in a busy market.
Coach and mentor others, including a vibrant pipeline of growing producers, trainees and interns.

WHAT YOU BRING

Prior experience as a producer in at least two newsrooms and confidence in a live news control room.
A sharp, conversational style and an ability to leverage process language that showcases journalists at work and the value they’re bringing viewers.
Able to work in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, managing deadline pressures and frequent changes.
Fast learning curve when it comes to new technology.
Multi-skilled in ways that stretch beyond the traditional role of “broadcast news producer” (shooting, editing, streaming, planning, etc).
Strong communicator and self-starter who puts the team first and works hard to ensure the product is high-quality.
Can blend good broadcast journalism with modern innovations in showcasing and content distribution that grow a station brand.
Prior experience coaching teammates and collaborating with others at a high-performing level.
A strong sense of curiosity and an ability to find information on your own, verify the validity of sources and communicate that information accurately to others.
Willingness to work outside of scheduled hours as breaking news or station efforts require.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:

Proficiency in multiple newsroom and digital content management systems.
A college degree in journalism.
