Job Description

The news team at FOX 26 and FOX Local Houston is re‑imagining how local news is gathered and delivered. We are a 24/7 streaming‑first news organization.

• Plan, produce, and deliver compelling content that works across broadcast, streaming platforms, and social media simultaneously.
• Serve as the creative engine behind our morning block, moving seamlessly from wall‑to‑wall breaking news and severe weather coverage to engaging studio segments, live guests, and shareable social moments.
• Co‑own our digital footprint alongside our digital team, ensuring every segment, tease, and interview is cut, captioned, and optimized for the platform it lives on.
• Bring genuine creative vision to what morning news can look like in 2026, pitching visually distinct segments, experimenting with new formats, and pushing the team to produce content that earns loyal followership.
• Have opportunities to produce news and sports specials, field produce major events, and take on high‑profile special projects.

• A creative thinker who produces for audiences, not just airtime.
• Deep fluency on Instagram, Tik Tok, You Tube, X, and an understanding of how content performs differently on each.
• Experience producing for or alongside a streaming platform.
• Mastery of the control room, with the flexibility to pivot live, fast, and confidently.
• Strong, concise writing for multiple formats: broadcast, digital, and social copy.
• Editing skills to support live, studio, and social‑first content.
• A collaborative spirit – working closely with anchors, the assignment desk, digital producers, and managers to keep FOX 26 ahead of the story and competition.

• Minimum 2 years of producing experience in a medium or large market preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree required; journalism, communications, or a related field preferred.
• Must thrive under pressure, meet hard deadlines, and manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Familiarity with newsroom systems, graphics programs, and video editing software required.
• Must be available to work on‑site or in the field during high‑impact events and local emergencies.
