Job Summary/Description:

Do you have a passion for finding the heart of a story and the drive to tell it across every screen? We’re looking for a smart, capable storyteller who wants to do more than just report—we want someone who will embrace our Central Nebraska community and become the voice our audience trusts. At KSNB (Local4), we don’t just cover the news; we live it alongside our neighbors. If you’re ready to sharpen your skills in an environment that values authenticity as much as technical precision, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: 

What You’ll Do:
• Own the narrative: Generate original story ideas for both broadcast and digital platforms that reflect the unique spirit of Central Nebraska.
• Anchor with authority: Step behind the desk as a fill-in anchor, taking on producing and writing responsibilities to ensure a seamless, high-energy newscast.
• Drive digital engagement: Create compelling content for our website and social media channels, reaching our audience wherever they are.
• Master the craft: Use industry-standard tools like ENPS and Edius to edit and produce high-quality visuals and scripts under tight deadlines.
• Connect in person: Represent Local4 at public functions and community events, building the relationships that lead to the best stories.
• Collaborate for excellence: Work with our award-winning team to push the boundaries of what local journalism can be in a digital-first world.

Qualifications/Requirements:

What You Bring:
• A storyteller’s heart: You have a college degree in Journalism (or equivalent experience) and a burning desire to tell stories that matter.
• Professional polish: You bring experience from a professional news station and feel at home both in the field and on the anchor desk.
• Technical savvy: You’re comfortable with ENG equipment and have a working knowledge of ENPS and Edius (or you’re a fast learner who’s ready to dive in).
• Deadline dominance: You thrive under pressure and know how to deliver quality work when the clock is ticking.
• Authentic connection: You don’t just report; you listen. You authentically demonstrate that you care about the community on-air and online.
• Creative communication: You know how to use visuals and writing to make a story pop, whether it’s a 90-second package or a social media reel.
• Reliability: You have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record (because the best stories aren’t found in the newsroom).
