You'll help produce daily newscasts, contribute to WKBN+ shows, pitch story ideas, write and edit content, and collaborate with reporters, anchors, and digital teams. Producers in our newsroom are working journalists who monitor scanners, phones, emails, and digital sources to find and develop stories.

We're looking for someone creative, organized, and eager to learn - someone who can work under deadline pressure and think beyond the obvious to create compelling content across platforms. A motivated journalist who wants to win the big story and is passionate about local news and telling the community's stories.

Youngstown offers great food, great people, and access to Ohio's largest metro park. Pittsburgh and Cleveland are each about an hour away.

Training/Equipment

Utilize state-of-the-art television and digital production technology including OBS streaming software, and newsroom systems.

Work Environment/Physical Requirements

High-stress environment with deadline pressures. Must be able to sit, reach, communicate clearly, write news copy, and make decisions independently. May require lifting equipment up to 25 lbs.
