WGBA, the NBC affiliate owned by The E.W. Scripps Company in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is searching for its next Multimedia Journalist. NBC 26 is looking for a Neighborhood reporter based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. As an MMJ, you'll research, capture visual content, write, and edit stories for multiple platforms.  Nestled along the shores of Lake Winnebago, the largest inland lake in Wisconsin, Oshkosh has plenty for a journalist to cover and enjoy.

It's home to EAA (the world's largest annual air show), an up-and-coming downtown business district, Northeast Wisconsin's largest university, and the Wisconsin Herd, the Milwaukee Bucks G-League team. Oshkosh is a hub of business — Oshkosh Defense, for one — and industry in the rapidly growing Fox Valley. Close to Milwaukee and Chicago to the south and Green Bay to the north, you're never far away from world-class theater, professional sports, and high-end dining.

Or, if you want to get away from it all, hiking, kayaking, camping, fishing, or any outdoor activities are just out your backdoor.

If you want to be the go-to community expert, ask the tough questions, highlight the proud and dynamic people in Oshkosh and surrounding communities, and work for a station with innovation and experimentation at its core, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
