  • Craft daily newscasts and manage all aspects of the broadcast

  • Pitch story ideas that fit our news strategy and ideology

  • Communicate well with others in the newsroom when building shows

  • Collaborate with digital team members throughout the day

  • Write clear and compelling broadcast copy

  • Execute last-minute changes in high pressure situations
