WSYX/WTTE is searching for our next on‑air PROBLEM SOLVER — a reporter who fights for viewers and gets results.
If you’re driven by helping people, digging into tough questions, and holding the powerful accountable, this is your newsroom. We’re looking for a reporter with strong investigative instincts, a compassionate approach, and the creativity to turn real‑world viewer concerns into compelling storytelling. This is a role for someone who loves solutions as much as they love storytelling—someone who can take complex issues, break them down clearly, and guide people toward answers.

- Investigate viewer complaints, consumer issues, and community concerns
- Identify trends, track down answers, and deliver solutions that make a difference
- Create, write, shoot, and edit stories for broadcast, digital, and social platforms
- Provide clear, empathetic on‑air reporting that empowers audiences
- Hold businesses, agencies, and institutions accountable—fairly and accurately
- Build strong relationships with viewers and community partners
- Work closely with Producers, Editors, Anchors, & News Directors to elevate your reporting
- A passion for helping people and uncovering meaningful solutions
- Strong investigative instincts and the ability to follow a trail until it leads somewhere
- Experience working with newsroom systems and media production tools
- Excellent writing, research, and storytelling skills
- 5 years of experience in reporting (consumer or investigative experience a plus)
- The ability to stay organized, calm, and focused when deadlines are tight
- A commitment to accuracy, fairness, and ethical journalism
- Curious minds who ask “Why?”
- Journalists who enjoy sorting out confusion and making things clear
- Reporters who believe journalism is a public service
- Storytellers who want their work to have real‑world impact
