JOB DESCRIPTION

In a major market newsroom, pacing, accuracy, and visual impact are everything. We are seeking a talented, fast-paced News Editor (Per Diem ) to shape the visual narrative of our daily broadcasts and streaming content.

Working as a per diem crew member, you will collaborate closely with Newscast Producers and the Digital Team to transform raw footage into compelling, clean, and high-impact news sequences under intense deadline pressure.

The Role: What You’ll Do

You will be a key player in our control room and editing bays, ensuring our visual storytelling is seamless across all platforms.

  • High-Speed Editing: Cut and prepare video sequences for broadcast and streaming platforms on tight, live-television deadlines.

  • Script Integration: Update iNews scripts with precise running times and cue markers for on-air graphics.

  • Editorial Quality Control: Maintain absolute accuracy by auditing scripts against edited video and immediately alerting producers and writers to any discrepancies.

  • Digital & Social Collaboration: Identify, clip, and optimize compelling video elements tailored specifically for digital and social media publication.

  • Long-Form & Features: Edit special reports, sweeps pieces, and other long-form content as assigned.

  • Workflow Support: Assist the Editing Coordinator with feed intake, archival video restoration, and "rundown checks" to ensure every asset is online before hit-time.

  • Leadership & Tech Agility: Step in as the Editing Coordinator when needed, operate ENG Receive equipment, and manage video/audio switching gear to support live streaming initiatives.

What You Bring to the Table

We are looking for an editor who treats a timeline like an art form and a deadline like a mission.

  • The Editing Edge: Demonstrated mastery of non-linear video editing software within a high-pressure, daily news environment.

  • Digital Organization: Exceptional digital file management and structural organization skills.

  • Communication & Collaboration: Strong interpersonal skills to effectively coordinate with producers, writers, and technical staff during breaking news.

  • Platform Literacy: Familiarity with social media video formats, clipping workflows, and modern digital platforms.

  • Operational Agility: A flexible, proactive mindset ready to adapt to shifting newsroom priorities and evolving broadcast technologies.

Education & Experience

  • Experience: Two (2) years of experience as a news video editor at a commercial television station is preferred.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree from a four-year college or university is preferred.

  • Systems: Ability to quickly master the station's newsroom computer system (iNews) and clipping software post-hire.

Why Join Our Roster?
