Reporter; expanding newsroom

WE'RE HIRING 5 REPORTERS IN FLORIDA!

These roles are independent reporters who embed themselves in their assigned communities around the Orlando DMA as exclusive News 6 Community Correspondents, where they report, shoot, and edit major news stories from their beats.

This independent journalist will report, shoot, and edit major stories about the things that matter most to Brevard County, embedding into these coastal communities on Florida's actively growing Space Coast.

This independent journalist will focus on the things that matter most to West Volusia County and DeLand, Deltona, and as many as 12 other distinct communities centered around the historic St Johns River. Just 30 minutes from the beach and the hustle of Orlando's city center, West Volusia County is big enough to matter, but small enough that your coverage can actually have a real impact.

This independent journalist will report, shoot, and edit major stories about the things that matter most to St Cloud, Poinciana, and the greater Osceola County area, a rapidly growing area south of Orlando. To be clear, this is not a theme parks beat, but this reporter would live nearby, making it a great way to spend personal time. Also, if you're bilingual in Spanish, this is the beat for you!

This embedded journalist will work out of the television station as a home base. He or she would report, shoot, and edit major stories about the things that matter most to Apopka, the second largest city in Orange County, Florida, and nearby communities in beautiful northern Lake County.

Sprawling live oaks, rolling hills, grand lakes, and breathtaking glimpses of old Florida bump right into the hustle and bustle of the Sunshine State's rapid modernization! This journalist will report, shoot, and edit major stories about the things that matter most to Ocala, The Villages, and Marion County, living and working in communities in the heart of Florida's horse country, and one of the fastest growing areas in the U.S., right along the I-75 corridor.

Graham Media Group, in Market #15 Orlando, Fla., is looking for an experienced reporter who is a fair, driven, and tech-savvy journalist who can work quickly and independently to cover a specific set of communities.

This role at WKMG News 6 is perfect for you if you excel at delivering fair, fact-based reporting, using compelling visuals and creative storytelling techniques you create and execute, which can hold people's attention.

You are an expert at developing trust rapidly with viewers and sources and can use those relationships to break high-impact local news stories first in the market. You have a bit of a competitive edge, whether you're covering breaking news first or asking the first question at every news conference. And you can balance that competitive spirit with a strong team-first mentality in the newsroom that inspires the teammates around you.

Ultimately, you care deeply about standing up for what's right, and you're motivated by a call to serve, delivering relevant, hyper-local reporting that informs our audiences, helps keep them safe, holds others accountable, and improves our communities for the better.

As a News 6 Community Correspondent, you will embed yourself in an assigned geography and its associated county, where you will develop enterprise hard news stories that directly impact people in your area.

You work independently, reporting, shooting, and editing your own stories efficiently every day, with occasional options to partner with experienced photojournalists on certain stories. You also get to work with a veteran broadcast journalist as your individual coach to help you master your reporter skillset, style, and storytelling craft.

You are comfortable with a rapidly changing workday, and you can quickly master new technologies, from cameras to content and editing software.
You know how to quickly deliver reports and storytelling on TV, vertical social media videos, and You Tube/digital formats
. You're also game to try new equipment and techniques while still delivering quality high-impact local journalism.

It's also important to have a strong on-camera presence/delivery that is clear, conversational, and commanding. Your live experience ranges from successfully gathering relevant information first at breaking scenes to wall‑to‑wall live coverage, like the kind that accompanies hurricanes. This live delivery helps you execute well on linear, digital, and streaming platforms.
