| Position | Digital Content News Anchor/Producer |
| Description | Are you obsessed with digital storytelling? Do you thrive when you’re not just breaking news, but breaking barriers on streaming and social platforms? WECT is looking for a Digital Content News Anchor/Producer who’s ready to own the screen on our digital platforms. This role blends digital reporting, producing, on-camera anchoring, and on-air Live Alerts/Breaking News updates for WECT’s Carolina in the Morning newscasts. Duties/Responsibilities will include (but not be limited to) the following: • Command the digital screen: Be the confident, dynamic on-camera face for WECT’s live streaming newscasts, on-demand segments, and other digital programming. You're not just reading the news; you're delivering it with impact across all our platforms. • Produce digital-first content: Conceptualize, write, and produce compelling digital newscasts and segments that are tailor-made for streaming and social audiences, not just adapted from broadcast. Think fast, create faster. • Be the digital lead for breaking news coverage — front press conferences streamed by the station, perform interviews with reporters and field crews, and guide live digital coverage. • Write accurate, concise, AP-style stories for WECT digital, covering a wide range of topics. • Produce and edit video and photo content for digital platforms; create packages, social clips, and photo galleries to enhance coverage. • Publish stories and multimedia using the station’s Content Management System; be willing to learn and follow SEO best practices to maximize web traffic and discovery. • Manage and monitor WECT social media accounts (Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and more); post updates, engage with viewers, and respond to messages when appropriate. • Use digital and social analytics to inform story selection, presentation, and distribution strategies. • Contact public officials, law enforcement, PIOs, and community members to gather and verify information for stories. • Collaborate closely with reporters, producers, anchors, photographers, editors, and meteorologists across the newsroom. Qualifications/Requirements: • A digital-first mindset: You naturally think in TikToks, Facebook & Instagram reels, streaming headlines, not just traditional newscasts. • On-camera confidence: You’re comfortable and charismatic in front of a lens, making immediate connections with digital audiences. • Proven content creation chops: Whether it’s writing a snappy script or producing a quick-hit segment, you get it done in an entertaining, informative, and accurate delivery designed for digital and streaming viewers. • The ability to thrive under pressure: Deadlines don’t scare you; they energize you. You can deliver high-quality work at lightning speed in the WECT Digital Studio. • Strong news judgment: You know what matters to our community and how to package it for maximum digital impact. • A collaborative spirit: You love being part of a news team that’s constantly innovating and adapting to the ever-changing digital news and streaming landscape. • A Bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related field (or equivalent real-world experience that fits this unique position). • Experience as a news producer, reporter, or anchor is a big plus, but if you’ve got the digital fire and on-camera presence, we want to hear from you!
